92-3 by the Senate. Well done and congratulations!
Update-- to answer the questions in the comments, per Glenn Sugameli, the only No votes (GOP Sens. Lee [UT], DeMint [SC] and Paul [KY]) were from those who have been continuing to vote NO on all judicial nominees in protest of three President Obama Executive branch nominees

Who are the 3 that voted against and the other 5 who didn't vote?
ReplyDeleteAnd the Three nays were who?
ReplyDeleteActually, it's to protest the President's appointments (not mere nominations) under the recess clause (U.S. Const., art. II, sec. 2) at a time when the Senate was arguably not in recess -- though that's a discussion/debate for another day. Congratulations to Judge Rosenbaum.
ReplyDeleteDemint's a jerk.
ReplyDeleteThe Arizona immigration case out of the SCT shows you cannot predict the outcome of an appeal by what happens at oral argument. Interesting dissent by Scalia sounding more like a politician than a SCT justice. Also interesting since Scalia is the son of a Sicilian immigrant who overstayed his student visa (things were more lax back then). That makes Scalia an Anchor baby writing about the evils of illegal immigration. Makes you laugh -- unless you are brown with a latino last name living in Arizona. Better take your passport with you Ese.
ReplyDeleteScalia is a joke. Definitely has become a partisan hack.
