BLOVIATION WATCH: TEDDY KENNEDY
Just caught Sen. Kennedy this morning railing against the William Pryor judicial nomination as a “rush to judgement.”
The Pryor nomination timeline:
3/12/2003 Pryor nominated to U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit by President Bush
7/23/2003 Passed out of Senate Judiciary Committee with favorable recommendation
7/31/2003 Democrats refused to allow vote on nomination (cloture denied 53-44)
11/14/2003 Democrats refused to allow vote on nomination (cloture denied 51-43)
2/20/2004 Given recess appointment to 11th Circuit (expires end of 109th Cong; 1st Session)
In related news, in case you missed, here’s the Manchester Union Leader’s front-page editorial from yesterday urging Republicans in Washington to “wise up and have the guts to stop the Democrats’ current misuse of the filibuster.”
Update: Pryor approved on a party-line vote.
