Courts - "GOP Opposition Slows Obama's Judicial Nominees"
Nina Totenberg's report this morning on NPR's Morning Edition is available for listening or reading here.
The Washington Post has an editorial today headed "Giving hypocrisy a bad name: Republicans slammed filibusters of Bush judicial nominees. Now they see things differently."
The LA Times' editorial on the subject is headed "Time for a ruling on judge: David F. Hamilton, nominated to the 7th Circuit Court, has been held up by partisan politics. But such delays also interfere with the administration of justice."
Here is today's Senate schedule from C-Span:
NOVEMBER 17, 2009 -- After the transaction of any morning business (not to extend beyond one hour), Senate will continue consideration of H.R. 3082, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, vote on or in relation to certain amendments, and passage of the bill; following which, Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of David F. Hamilton, of Indiana, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Seventh Circuit, and after a period of debate, vote on the motion to invoke cloture thereon. (Senate will recess from 12:30 p.m. until 2:15 p.m. for their respective party conferences.)
