Thanks for the post. Do you have data on how many of clintons appointees were confirmed and at what rate?
Do you have similar data for GHWBush?
To: TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!
This is all very simple for president Bush to resolve: announce that unless the judicial confirmations begin immediately, he'll follow the example set by his Democratic predecessor, and fire every Democratic US Attorney in the country by June 30, to appoint new ones beginning on, say the 4th of July.
A general housecleaning of any other leftover Democrat appointments can then follow at liesure. That Bush has not yet done so offers the observation that he's really not all that concerned with the judicial appointments being stalled.

Tune in to C-SPAN 2 LIVE.They are now discussing this issue.

Hatch says repeatedly that there was no filibustering of left picked judges under Clinton. They were all passed.
To: VRWCmember
And the Fla. Supreme Court proves it.

Hatch says repeatedly ... Yes, I know that, but I'm looking for specific numbers, length of time stalled in committee, time to confirmation, etc. I recall the GOP delayed a couple of clinton's more outrageous nominees, quota queens, etc. but I know they never filibustered anybody. They always allowed the full senate to vote up or down, and the full senate rejected at least one nominee (Bill Lan Lee) that clinton then used the recess appointment to install anyway.
What I need to refute my liberal democrat coworker is side by side comparison that shows the democrat obstruction is unprecedented, going far beyond even the borking they did of GHW Bush's Supreme Court nominees.
To: VRWCmember
You fell into a typical liberal debate trap by letting your liberal friend frame the debate as obstruction when the issue is a fillibuster once its gotten to the floor. He is changing the subject and you got suckered into it.

Sorry minion, I framed the debate as the obstruction of the democrats which is unprecedented. The filibuster takes that obstruction further down the road of unprecedented, but the obstruction (which started in the 107th congress - democrat controlled senate) includes locking the nominees up committee rather than letting them be debated and voted by the full senate. Thanks for your perspective though.
To: VRWCmember
I will ping you when I have the time to research this. Sorry I do not have it now.
To: VRWCmember
But your still getting suckered by allowing that obstruction is ok so long as they all do it evenly. Take Bush's posistion that the senate needs to put this battle behind them and work from a new framework.
