I further direct a question to my friend, it is true, then, that this article written by David Savage states that experts who track Federal judgeships say Republican complaints about a Democratic filibuster has skewed the larger picture. The article further goes on to say, and I ask the Senator if he is aware of this, that 168 Federal judges have been approved and 4 turned down--168 to 4; is that the record as the Senator understands it?
