Fourteen days ago, President Obama nominated 3 potential justices.
"The assertion that President Obama is attempting to use these appointments to advance his policy agenda gets it exactly backwards. Dating back to President Reagan, Republican presidents have filled 15 of the last 19 vacancies on the D.C. Circuit and nine of these nominees remain in service as active or senior judges."

I will admit to losing track of the amount of time that has elapsed for some of President Obama's court nominees. Those days are gone. The legislative atrocity that was perpetuated on Caitlin Halligan, sealed the deal for me. The time for patience and courtesy has elapsed, fuck the Senate Republicans.
