"Mr. Bush nominated U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle of North Carolina more than four years ago to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Richmond. Judge Boyle had a hearing more than three months ago and has been scheduled numerous times for a Senate Judiciary Committee vote.These morons've had more than four years to look at this guy's opinions already! Who needs filibusters when you have a turncoat like Arlen Specter.
Last week, however, Democrats on the Judiciary Committee demanded that Judge Boyle's nomination wait another week and that the Bush administration produce more of his unpublished opinions. Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Republican, reluctantly agreed."
UPDATE 6/16/05: Mr. Specter finally allowed a committee vote, which was party-line, sending Judge Boyle to the Senate floor. Now we get to see what "extraordinary circumstances" means.
