Estrada was relentlessly attacked for several YEARS and filibustered mercilessly. MULTIPLE cloture votes.
Finally, wanting to move on with his life, he withdrew his name.
And tragically, his wife recently died.
He's had quite enough, thanks all the same!
Thought the reason Estrada withdrew his name was because of his wife's illness...SO he could spend time with her....
Expect him to be "W" first SCOTUS nominee.
