I am sure it has always been there, but it seems to have gotten worse over time. And what is happening to Miguel Estrada is a very vivid demonstration of political gridlock and it must be stopped. It has to be spoken out against, and I am here tonight to try to do so; at least to lend my voice to that as well. How can we stop the political posturing, how can we break the gridlock? ... In fact, President Bush nominated Miguel Estrada to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in May of 2001. Nearly 2 years later, Miguel Estrada has yet to be confirmed. I would say that this, by any reasonable standard, is quite outrageous.
