Washington, DC - The US Senate on Thursday (May 23), in a landmark vote (97-0), unanimously confirmed India-born naturalized Sri Srinivasan to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, prompting US President Barack Obama to comment, "Sri is a trailblazer who personifies the best of America. Born in Chandigarh, India, and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Sri spent nearly two decades as an extraordinary litigator before serving as Principal Deputy Solicitor General of the United States."
