The socialists (dems) didn't object to his appointment.
'President George W. Bush nominated Marra to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on January 23, 2002, to a new seat created by 114 Stat. 2762. Marra was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 82-0 on September 9, 2002. He received commission on September 13, 2002."
Unanimous—82 to 0—welcome to the swamp!
