Senate Republicans has their first vote on one of President Barack Obama's judicial nominees on Monday night
In a 95-0 vote, the Senate made Alfred Bennett to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Seat was empty for 769 days and a seat so powerful would now be called a "judicial emergency."
Republicans have not given Obama's judicial nominees very seriously ever since they took Senate. They did not care if it hurt getting theirs either. (cool kinda bc they are standing their ground? lol)
Another Utah judicial nominee is ready for a vote.
Bennett was actually allowed in less time of 207 days. Even less time when Democrats controlled the Senate.
"President George W. Bush had to work with a Democratic Senate in his final two years in office. By this point in Bush's seventh year in the White House, the Senate had confirmed 15 of his judicial nominees that year."
