First, never in the history of the Senate had a judicial nominee with majority support been denied an up-or-down vote until two years ago. However, it was not unprecedented either for Republicans or Democrats to block judicial nominees in committee.


True. first sentence is tortured but true. (Shades of Spanish Inquisition?)

Whether on the floor or in committee, judicial obstruction is judicial obstruction. It’s time for judicial obstruction to end no matter which party controls the White House or the Senate.

First sentence also true. Second sentence, or variation thereof, never uttered in the history of world government by a party not in power :-)

Happy now preview button?
Just thought - doeas it still count as judicial onbstruction when 63 of your judicial nominees dont even make it to committee?

I'll stop now, lest this turn into an SM style thread.....
