: ConfirmThemHappenings Today in the Senate
By AndrewHyman
From Congressional Quarterly: "GOP Senators Threaten Blockade Unless More Appeals Court Nominees Get Votes"
Congratulations to Catharina Haynes, who today became the first appeals court nominee confirmed this year.
Also, congratulations to Senator Specter for advocating a strict timetable setting a time limit, after a nomination is submitted, for SJC hearings, committee votes and final floor votes to be held. That would be great. Right now might be the perfect time for adoption of such a rule, because no one knows who the next president will be. All of the gridlock and obstruction has been very harmful to the judiciary.
