Had to step out for the hour of school pickups. Was the judicial confirmation one of the names Hatch forced out of committee last week? Excellent!

But when, oh when, are we going to get some movement on Estrada? What has happened to the statement we read early in this thread from one of Frist's staffers that we'd see a new Republican direction today? Are they waiting for prime time/late night too??

No, this was Marian Blank Horn, nominee to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. I believe the 3 nominees Hatch forced the vote on were all Circuit Court of Appeals nominees.
