http://blogs.sacbee.com/the_swarm/2012/03/us-senate-breaks-logjam-on-fed.htmlThere's apparently a deal today in the U.S. Senate that would break a logjam on federal judicial nominees that has stalled several California judges in waiting.
Several reports say that top Democrat Harry Reid and GOP leader Mitch McConnell have agreed to allow floor votes by May 7 on 14 of 22 pending nominations -- two a week.
Reid has been pushing for the votes, focusing on the 14 who received bipartisan support in the Senate Judiciary Committee. They include two from California: Jacqueline Ngyuen for the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeal and Michael Fitzgerald for the Central District of California.
UPDATE: The Senate voted 91-6 on Thursday to confirm Fitzgerald.
Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, who recommended him to the White House, noted that he makes history as the first openly gay federal judge in the state.
Nothing more to say... Other than I'm sorry my neighbors sent you this piece of sh*t!
Reid took the high-stakes step on Monday of scheduling votes to end filibusters on 17 of the nominations. In return for allowing the votes, Republicans will reportedly get Senate consideration of a jobs bill aimed at small businesses passed by the GOP-controlled House.
Are you f ing kidding me?!?!?! Lifetime appointments for
consideration of a jobs bill?!?! This right here is why we are doomed as a nation....
1) Don't EVER make deals with liberals
