There is another round of voting in the Senate this week as the Republicans try to break the longstanding Democratic judicial filibusters while also drawing attention to the Democrats' obstructionism. Without a doubt, the Democrats will also filibuster Bill Pryor and Carolyn Kuhl when they come up for confirmation later in the week.

With the Senate heading into summer recess, there will never be a better time to beat the drum on this and put political pressure on the obstructionists. The time is now to push these nominees through. The President needs to get off his duff and start making some noise about this if he's going to have any chance of receiving my Broward County, Florida vote in 2004. There's no point in having good poll numbers and control of both houses if you can't get any of your stinkin' nominees confirmed.
