Where is the hard data on judical nominees?

[whoozit]

There has been much discussion of the difference between the way the Senate has handled judicial nominees during the Clinton and Bush terms. I have seem many numbers and statistics tossed about. I am looking for a hard source that would list the number of nominees sent to committee, the number approved for vote by Senate and the actual number confirmed respectively. Can anyone point me in the right direction or post the info with a cited source?

Frankly, I couldn't care less about the numbers. It's like comparing the number of criminals arrested vs the number of law-abiding citizens arrested. The numbers won't compare...

I expect the Senate to confirm judges who will interpret according to the Constitution, not write their own law. The fact that Republicans may have thwarted Clinton's activist judges while attempting to pass the current group of Constitutionally founded judges is not comparable.

Look around the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary for this information.
