Good catch.
So, clinton appointed 373 sitting judges. That means that Bush has 372 to go.
Plus several hundred more to make up for all the lousy appointments made before clinton got into office. There are some decent conservative judges in office, but they are badly outnumbered.
How many did Impeached42 send up FOR confirmation?
