I don't like the fact that Bush renominated. When the elected oversight body denies them a position once it is the voice of the people who voted them in who say "These individuals are not acceptable" Bush chooses to disregard that voice and force people upon us.

FYI:
1. Estrada answered all the questions asked of him. In fact, he even offered to answer individual Dem Senators questions. He repeated that several times. Dems never asked or written any questions that they wanted answered.
2. Estrada was not rejected. He was never given the opportunity of a up or down vote, the first time in US history that a filibuster had been used on an appalete court nominee
