Congratulations to Scott L. Silliman and William B. Pollard III, both of whom the Senate last night confirmed to be judges of the U.S. Court of Military Commission Review.  Both men must formally be sworn in before commencing their work on the court.  It is unclear precisely when the swearing-in proceedings will take place.
