Mr. McCONNELL. I say to my friend from Iowa, if the majority leader does have to exercise the constitutional option and ask us to support it, it will be narrowly crafted to effect only circuit court appointments and the Supreme Court, which are, after all, the only areas where there has been a problem. (109th Congress - Page S5750)

But that was BB....Before Bolton!!!

That is correct. There was no need to talk about other nominations, because the DEMs weren't blocking other nominations. Well, the DEMs changed that. ;-)

If the DEMs refuse to vote on Bolton, the proposed remedy has to cover more than circuit and supreme court nominees.
