[jab105]

Hope someone can help me here, am having a disagreement with republican * he said that the democrats are filibustering more than the republicans held up...but I'm positive this isn't true...didn't Dashcle hold up a poster a few months ago that they were only holding up 2 out of 224 judges??? Do you have a link for me on this, thanks!!

1. THe Dems have held up

4 appointments. Carolyn Kuel, Pickering, Estrada and someone else whose name slips my memory. I think they have approved 124.

During the Clinton years about 60 judges never get out of committee.

I don't have a link, but if I :kick: this maybe someone else will.

2. Republicans gave 13 of President Clinton's nominees a hearing in 1998

Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy
Senate Judiciary Committee
Judicial Nominations Hearing
July 9, 2003

Today’s hearing is the thirteenth nominations hearing the Republican majority has held this year. As of today, during the past six months, the Senate Judiciary Committee has considered 43 of President Bush’s judicial nominees. This stands in sharp contrast to the way President Clinton’s nominees were treated by the Republican majority. Thirteen is the same number of hearings for judicial nominees as Chairman Hatch allowed in all of 1998, the year he held the most hearings in any of his six full years as chairman during the Clinton Administration. In most of those years, there were far fewer hearings and far fewer nominees.
