This nomination hearing was sparsely attended by Senators.
Revesz’s nomination was widely supported by regulatory scholars.
Bloomberg’s Courtney Rosen wrote:A law professor for more than 30 years who once clerked for former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Revesz specializes in climate change and regulation. He supports a traditional approach to evaluating regulations, a technique that has been criticized by progressive members of the Democratic party.Revesz founded the Institute for Policy Integrity at New York University in 2008. Roll Call’s Benjamin Hulac reported:
During the Trump administration, the institute, along with other university and advocacy groups and research organizations, maintained an online database to track lawsuits over federal agencies’ steps to change or weaken federal regulations, dozens of which concerned environmental or energy issues.
