President to resubmit judicial nominees
Justice Janice Rogers Brown of the California Supreme Court is one of 20 candidates for the federal bench that the president will resubmit when the new Senate meets on Jan. 4. Last term, Democrats prevented the nominees from receiving an up or down vote -- an obstructionist tactic Republicans are no longer willing to tolerate.
Incoming minority leader Harry Reid, D-NV, called it " ... a disservice to the American people to detract from the important work of the Senate to reconsider these failed nominees." But of course the nominees have not failed; they were never voted upon, and almost all of them will win confirmation once the GOP puts the kibosh to the Democrats' dilatory antics.
(EDITED to correct Judge Brown's first name, which is Janice, not Janet.)
