320 Obama-nominated federal judges have been confirmed. 117 of them were confirmed unanimously, 38 were confirmed by unanimous consent, 63 were confirmed on a voice vote. That’s 218 Obama judges judges who were unchallenged and 102 who were challenged.
6 Obama nominees were rejected via Republican filibusters of their nominations. Obama withdrew all six nominations and in all six instances Obama nominated a different judge who was then confirmed.

That’s a lot of housecleaning. But at least there’s a list. There’s no point in regime change unless you also remove - by any means necessary - the the pervasive architecture of officials, bureaucrats, regulators, enforcers and petty thugs put in place by the previous regime.

Bush utterly failed to do this. This in my mind tagged him for a failure. That, and his insistence right after 9/11 that Islam was a religion of peace.
