Justice will grind to a halt with 9th Circuit vacancies

"Senate Democrats who oppose a split for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are hindering their own cause by blocking Idaho's two nominees to the court. The longer they wait to confirm nominees William Myers and Randy Smith, the longer the backlog stretches for federal cases in the 9th."

Thanks for the link to an excellent article. One important issue that is almost always forgotten during the fight over nominations is that in many circuits there is a huge backlog of cases and the filibustering and general obstruction of the President's nominees makes this situation even worse.
