Even with Specter's not planning to hold new hearings for the old nominees, the clock is ticking for Majority Leader Bill Frist (R.-Tenn.), who promised to bring one of the Bush nominees to a vote on the Senate floor in February. The White House, however, has yet to submit the nominees to the Senate for consideration.
He promised to bring a nominee to the floor in February, so you can see why the media would be implying, on January 28th, that the Republicans are delinquent.
