Santorum Blocked Judges Too
They were district court nominees, not appeals court nominees, says Santorum, so his blocks were different, part of a long Senate tradition: "The precedent of the Senate has been that individual senators can hold nominees from their states if there has been a disagreement between the president and that member. A senator...has always had the right with district court judges to be basically deferred to."
Oh, and that time where he did block a Clinton appeals court nominee? That one was just because he could. (Via Buzzflash.com )— GREG BEATO
