this whole thing is just a big mess waiting to happen. First off bush has put up 218 judges for appointment. 208 of them have been approved. 10 were not. After his reelection he put those same 10 back up and they were again stopped. By comparison the reubs blocked about 60 of clintons nominees. But that is not the case ( who had more blocked ) the repubs are pissed they are getting thier way so they want to change the rules. If they do this the dems have already said they will flood the congress with thier agenda. In the past congress has always worked on a certian system when it comes to setting the agenda on what will be voted on. That is that the party in the majority sets the agenda. There are many rules and things that will allow the minority group to force thier agenda. That is what the dems will do. They have already said that they will use all the rules and fine print to slow down commitees and force thier agenda on the congress. So if the repubs do this, they will get thier vote on these 10 judges but in the end they will start a much bigger fight that will all but bring congress to a hault.
