Two words: Miguel Estrada.
I followed the nomination fiasco at the time. Estrada was one of about half a dozen. Frist helped bury most of them after the gang-of-14 (led by McCain) action.
“Two words: Miguel Estrada.”
BINGO!
Schumer would not even allow Miguel Estrada’s nomination to go to the floor for an up, or down, vote. Shameful.
Miguel Estrada put a hold on his life for around a year, maybe more, but finally had to go on with his life. Schumer did not want the Republicans picking a Hispanic who would probably become a SCOTUS justice.
