John Hoeven said "Judge Traynor has a long, impressive career in the legal profession and is well qualified to serve on the 8th Circuit, following his time as U.S. District Judge for North Dakota. We need judges like him serving in our federal courts. He has a record of impartiality and professionalism, while being committed to the rule of law. We appreciate our colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee for working with us to promptly advance his nomination, and we will continue working to secure his approval by the full Senate." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
