I have been trying to track this information down for Months with no real success.
The Democracts like to throw out numbers like 215 Bush nominees apointed to courts, and only 10 blocked, but I know that number encompasses multiple courts, and is not complete.
Does anyone have the real accurate count of the Number of peple Bush has nominated for the Federal Appeals Court, versus the number which the Senate has allowed a Vote on.
I remember I tried to look for this around the election, and it was something like 39 nomees, and 21 voted on. But even that may have been a rough number
One article a couple of months ago stated that 20 judicial nominees ended up being blocked last session.
[I knew it was up to 10 in the early fall 2004, but never saw any total until that one (and only one) article stated 20.]
