I have outlined where we stand in comparison to the progress we made when the Senate moved to confirm 205 Federal circuit and district judges during President Bush's first term. Three years into President Obama's administration, we have yet to confirm 100 judges. We are going to have to move pretty quickly to catch up, especially to what a Democratic-controlled Senate did for President Bush. I wish to be able to do the same for President Obama.
