First, I want to thank you for the insight, thoughts, and knowledge you shared with us during these hearings. I've enjoyed and learned from them.

I'm curious as to how many other judicial positions are still open and the status of each (e.g., need nomination by President Bush and/or approval by the Senate). Does anyone have a list?

Thanks!
SC
