Norman Randy Smith or Brett Kavanaugh. Despite Democratic cooperation in the confirmation of scores of nominees and the undeniable fact that we have treated this Presidents nominees more fairly than Republicans treated those of President Clinton. they seem intent on using controversial judicial nominations to stir up their partisan political base. Rather than address the priorities of Americans by focusing on proposals to end the subsidies to big oil and rein in gas prices. rather than devote our time to passing comprehensive immigration reform legislation. rather than completing a budget. the Republican leader came to the floor last week to signal a fight over controversial judicial nominations. One of the nominations that the Republicans want to rubberstamp is that of Judge Terrence Boyle to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
