Legal Times Documents Democrat Obstruction

The Legal Times recently summed up the unprecedentedly poor treatment of President Bush's judicial nominees:

With just 10 months left in his term, President George W. Bush is on track to leave office with fewer of his picks on the federal bench than his fellow two-term presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan. . . .

By comparison, Clinton and Reagan, both of whom faced similar congressional opposition in the twilight of their administrations, each left office with more than 370 of their candidates confirmed, according to Senate statistics. And Bush is running only marginally ahead of Jimmy Carter, who left office after a single term with 262 nominees confirmed.
