I've been listening to the talking heads on this issue and what I'm hearing is that the GOP filibustered 68 of clinton's nominees. The dims keep insisting that the Repubs did the same thing they are doing. But the Repubs keep claiming that this is the first time in history that this has happened. I would like to know the truth on this. Can you shed any light on the subject? Did the Repubs keep 68 of clintons nominees from coming up for a vote? If so, how did they do it? And how do we answer this accusation?

One of the ways Clinton prepared for this 'statistic' was by nominating an unrealistic number of judges very late in his second term, when by 'tradition' the open judgeships are not filled at the end of a senate term.
