I'm not sure if I'm smart enough to understand the numbers that you've put out. Is the real record that, yes, the Senate has confirmed 126 of 128 judges that have had hearings, but that there are more than 100 judges whose hearings have been bottled up by the Democrats?
We keep hearing 126 of 128 and the Republicans don't seem to be disputing this. What's the real story?
Here is where I got the data.
http://judiciary.senate.gov/ I cannot find any explanation of the 127 number. It is one line on the page and the rest of the page refers to a breakdown of what is going on with 87 nominees.
I have a feeling that the 127 refers to the entire GWB presidency: 107th and 108th congress.
I would like to hear Hatch explain why 55 of 60 nominees currently on the president's list have not had committee hearings!
