The rest were blocked by Republican filibusters. get the picture?

That statement is a LIE. The Republicans did not filibuster any of clinton's nominees. Some of them never got out of committee -- a far cry from a filibuster -- where they can't even get a majority on the committee, let alone on the senate floor. btw, when the GOP MAJORITY blocked certain nominees in the committee, the dems went ballistic insisting that these losers be given a vote on the floor of the senate. Now they have changed their tune and are standing for blocking nominees that they would not have the balls to oppose in an actual vote on the floor. If a vote on the floor were allowed, each of these nominees would enjoy a substantial bi-partisan approval. But the dems obstruct.

Finally, the 10 out of 235 is a misleading statisitical factoid made to keep ignorant folks like you confused. Yes, many lower court nominees have been confirmed. However, these are important positions on the federal circuit courts and each vacancy is considered a judicial crisis, which makes this democrat grandstanding and obstruction even more egregious.

My comment there might have been unnecessarily harsh. It is possible that I misinterpreted your reply to "kotaku" in which it appeared to me that you were agreeing with his nonsense. If my inference from your post was incorrect, please accept my apology for lumping you in with those who are either grossly ignorant or disgusting liars on the issue of the blocked judges and filibusters.
