Did anybody else see the prez get his ass handed to him this morning? Apparently because of the filibustering going on for 2 of his nominees he thinks its unfair and the system needs to be changed. Shortly after the speech Daschle responded. He illustrated, very simply and eloquently, the fact that 124 of Bush's judicial nominees have been confirmed (some sort of crazy world record) and only 2 have been blocked. He then brought up the fact that during the Clinton administration 60 nominees were blocked, 50 of those never even got a hearing?

"The obstructionist tactics of a small group of senators are setting a pattern that threatens judicial independence,"

Talk amongst yourselves.
