I'll take a look on Westlaw. I was pretty excited to find this, and it could be a good starting point.

The other issue is standing. Who would have to bring suit? The nominee? The President?

that could be an interesting question. Both the nominee and President could probably do so. I think that any Senator would have standing since it affects his right to vote on the candidate (but I seriously doubt any Senator would dos so considering the political consequences); by extension, any voter might be able to make a case for having standing to sue since it is directly affecting his Senators ability to vote (although a problem might arise with the Senators representing the States and not the individual voters). From a purely research standpoint, I find the standing to sue to be more interesting than the case itself (finding a way to give every voter a standing to directly sue the Congress for either action or inaction would be interesting). BTW, are you familiar with validating the results of your case research (Shepardizing)?
