Leader. when the republicans were in charge of the senate and had the white house back in 2005 we almost came to this. this has to do with frustration right now for the democrats in the obama white house with the inability to get a lot of their judicial nominees confirmed and they re specifically upset and there s been a big fight in the last couple of month, a nominee specifically to the d.c. circuit. this is the d.c. circuit is one of those that hears a lot of court cases, that may eventually end up in the supreme court. it s also seen as almost like a triple a for potential supreme court nominees to be, so you that bench gets proliferated with nominees like that and republicans that right now, there s an ideological balance here that some would argue slightly favors republicans who favors business interests. the obama administration has been nominating some folks and there are some empty lot there, ....
Fight with senate republicans by jamming through nominees by a court that doesn t even have enough work to do, how about taking yes for an answer and working with us on filling judicial emergencies that actually exist. yet rather than learn from past precedents on judicial nominations that they themselves set, democrats now want to set another one. i have no doubt that if they do, they will come to regret that one as well. our colleagues evidently would rather live for the moment. satisfy the moment, live for the moment and try to establish a storyline that republicans are intent on obstructing president obama s judicial nominees. that storyline patently ridiculous in light of the facts and utterly absurd suggestion in light of the facts. ....

Boehner left off there insisting that immigration reform is not dead, saying answering that question of the reporter saying that it could very welcome up this year. craig, the most missed story of the week is what president obama said two days ago and speaker boehner referred to it during that sitdown with those ceos that the wall street journal put on when he said he was open to the piecemeal approach as long as all of the pieces got to him, right? as long as it wasn t just one, but that he was open to that. that he was basically no longer demanding that the house do an up or down vote on the senate compromise. that i think that that was basically, think of it as an olive branch to the house republicans and boehner just grabbed it. so i believe for a while, and i ve been talking to people on this issue for a while that there will be another window, probably between march and july 4th that that will probable ey ....
Before this current democratic gamut to fill up the d.c. circuit one way or the other, the senate had confirmed 215, 215 of the president s judicial nominees and rejected two. that s a 99% confirmation rate. 215 confirmed and two rejected. 99%. look, if advise and consent is to mean anything at all occasionally consent is not given. but by any objective standard senate republicans have been very, very fair to this preside president. we ve been willing to confirm his nominees. in fact, speaking of the d.c. circuit we just confirmed one a few months ago 97-0 to the d.c. ....
