Connecticut high court nominee who supported Amy Coney Barrett withdraws

By SUSAN HAIGH and DAVE COLLINS

A nominee to Connecticut’s highest court has withdrawn her name from consideration. Friday’s announcement came after some state lawmakers expressed concern about a letter she signed in 2017 supporting Amy Coney Barrett for a federal appeals court position. Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont released a statement saying Sandra Slack Glover had notified him of her decision to withdraw. The announcement came four days after Glover appeared at a confirmation hearing before the Democratic controlled Judiciary Committee, which had held off from voting on her confirmation.
