On the recordNovember 12, 2003
I noticed my friend, the Senator from New York, for whom I have great respect, made a comparison between a hold and a filibuster but yet at the same time he has shown this chart over and over again, showing where we have 168 approved and only 4 filibustered. But as the Senator well knows, the Senators from Michigan have had holds on numbers and numbers of judges for months and months. So his number four, instead of being four, should be about eight, if he really believes a hold was equivalent to a filibuster. So his argument simply doesn't hold water, if I may pose that in the form of a question to the Senator.
