I am still trying to figure all of this out. If Oklahoma had two federal judges approved yesterday, were others approved as well?

THe following is from senate web site. I don't think it means they were approved, just nominated:

I know the Oklahoma ones were confirmed yesterday or at least according to the press release from Senator Nickles. That must mean this is the list that was submitted but not confirmed.

[VRWC_minion]

That must mean this is the list that was submitted but not confirmed

Maybe its both. Its possible those that got nominated were voted on with simple voice vote for unanimous agreement.

Don't you just love the Senate website -- hard to tell sometimes what is going on which I think is on purpose and it has gotten worse since daschle took over!
