U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio says there is some disagreement about how U.S. District Judge Adalberto Jordan pronounces his last name.
Running through the variations before a vote Monday night, the Florida Republican offered jor-dahn', jor'duhn and hor'-dahn as options. No matter which you prefer, Rubio called on fellow senators to cut off a filibuster and confirm the Miami judge's nomination to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The cloture vote was approved 89-5 to cut off debate, and Jordan's confirmation hearing is now set for Wednesday.
