In the past few months my Democratic colleagues have attempted to paint the picture of a national emergency regarding unfilled vacancies in the Federal courts. We hear talk of a judicial crisis. of justice suffering at the hands of overworked and overburdened judges. and of the Senate Judiciary Committee creating this situation out of political motivation. A recent example is an article in the Washington Post which interviewed only one Texas district judge who described how he was plowed under with work ever since Congress decided to get tough on drug smuggling and illegal immigration. And because his district has three open seats. he cant keep up with the caseload. Unfortunately this one judge has been used in an attempt to reflect some kind of a national crisis.
