United States federal courts

Wyrick was the third judge to be confirmed to a U.S. District Court under a new precedent the Senate established.

On April 3, 2019, the U.S. Senate voted 51-48 in favor of a change to chamber precedent lowering the maximum time allowed for debate on executive nominees to posts below the Cabinet level and on nominees to district court judgeships from 30 hours after invoking cloture to two.[7]

The change was passed under a procedure, often referred to as the nuclear option, that requires 51 votes rather than 60.[8]

It was the third use of the nuclear option in Senate history. In 2013, it was used to eliminate the 60-vote threshold to confirm presidential nominees, except those to the Supreme Court. In 2017, it was used to eliminate the 60-vote threshold required to confirm Supreme Court nominees.[9] For more, see Filibuster and reconciliation in the United States Congress.

#### Senate Judiciary Committee hearing[edit]

The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on Wyrick's nomination on May 23, 2018. The committee voted 11-10 on June 14, 2018, to advance his nomination to the full U.S. Senate.[10]

The Senate Judiciary Committee favorably reported Wyrick's nomination on February 7, 2019.[11] Click here to see how the committee voted. Wyrick's nomination was one of 44 that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reported that day.

##### Comments on the administrative state[edit]

See also: Administrative state

Wyrick made the following comments regarding the administrative state during a September 2016 panel discussion at George Mason University's Antonin Law School: “I think at this point I’m in the Phil Hamburger school of the entire administrative state is unlawful I think we have all sorts of basic, fundamental, Constitutional problems with the nature of the current administrative state.”[12]

During his confirmation hearing before United States Senate Judiciary Committee on May 23, 2018, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) questioned whether Wyrick continued to support his September 2016 comments. Wyrick stated that he had made the comments in the capacity of "an advocate litigating on behalf of the State of Oklahoma.” He also stated, “I don’t believe the entire administrative state is unlawful.”[12][13]

Wyrick offered further insight into his views on the administrative state in the written questions for the record following the hearing. He stated, "As a judge, it is clear that the administrative state is not unconstitutional, as binding precedents from the Supreme Court and Tenth Circuit make clear. If confirmed, I will faithfully apply those precedents."[12]

#### Nomination[edit]

Wyrick was nominated by President Donald Trump (R) on April 11, 2018, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.[1] Wyrick was nominated to succeed Judge David L. Russell, who assumed senior status on July 7, 2013.[2]

At the sine die adjournment of the 115th Congress on January 3, 2019, the Senate returned Wyrick's nomination to President Trump.[14] Wyrick was one of 51 individuals the president re-nominated on January 23, 2019.[15]

The American Bar Association rated Wyrick qualified by a majority and not qualified by a minority for the position.[16] To read more about ABA ratings, click here.

### 2017[edit]

On November 17, 2017, Wyrick was included in a third list of individuals from which President Donald Trump would choose to fill vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court.

A White House statement announcing the nominees stated,[19]

“  |

One year ago, President Donald J. Trump was elected to restore the rule of law and to Make the Judiciary Great Again. Following the successful confirmation of Justice Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States and the nomination of more than seventy Federal judges—including five individuals from his Supreme Court list—President Trump today announced that he is refreshing his Supreme Court list with five additional judges. President Trump will choose a nominee for a future Supreme Court vacancy, should one arise, from this updated list of 25 individuals. The President remains deeply committed to identifying and selecting outstanding jurists in the mold of Justice Gorsuch. These additions, like those on the original list released more than a year ago, were selected with input from respected conservative leaders.[20]

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### Residency lawsuit[edit]

On February 14, 2017, the ACLU of Oklahoma filed suit against Wyrick, alleging that he did not meet the residency requirements to serve as a supreme court justice.[21] Oklahoma law requires that an appointee to the supreme court shall have been a qualified voter in the district from which he is appointed as a justice for at least one year. The lawsuit alleged that Wyrick lived with his family in the Oklahoma City metro area, outside the district from which Gov. Fallin appointed him. On March 7, 2017, the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit, stating that in the type of legal action available to test Wyrick's title to his office, only the state attorney general, a district attorney, or a contestant for the office would have been a proper plaintiff and that this lawsuit was instead "a collateral attack by a private individual."[22][23]

### The federal nomination process[edit]

Federal judges are nominated by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. There are multiple steps to the process:

* The president nominates an individual for a judicial seat.
* The nominee fills out a questionnaire and is reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
* The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing with the nominee, questioning them about things like their judicial philosophy, past rulings or opinions, etc.

* As part of this process, the committee sends a blue slip to senators from the home state in which the judicial nomination was received, allowing them to express their approval or disapproval of the nominee.

* After the hearing, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to approve or return the nominee.

* If approved, the nominee is voted on by the full Senate.
* If the Committee votes to return the nominee to the president, the president has the opportunity to re-nominate the individual.

* The Senate holds a vote on the candidate.

* If the Senate confirms the nomination, the nominee receives a commission to serve a lifelong position as a federal judge.
* If the Senate does not confirm the nomination, that nominee does not become a judge.
