the nominations of carolyn cool and william gary myers languished for years before being returned to the president. a fourth nominee, randy smith, waited over 14 months before finally being confirmed after his nomination was blocked and returned to the president. after being renominated, he was finally confirmed unanimously. president obama, on the other hand, has nominated six individuals to the ninth circuit. only one of those nominees was subject to a cloture vote. after the vote failed, the nominee withdrew. today we confirm the third nomination of this president to the ninth circuit. those three confirmations took an average of about eight months from the date of nomination. for all of president obama's circuit nominees, the average time from nomination to confirmation is about 242 days. for president bush's circuit nominees, the average wait for confirmation was 350 days. one might ask why president bush was treated so differently with so much more delay than this president has been treated or his nominees treated. another example of past democratic obstruction and delay is in arkansas. today we confirm president obama's
