charles pickerring, carolyn coup, william meyers, all i think outstanding nominees, all were filibusteredand never confirmed. so i ask my democratic colleagues did we have any outrage from that side then? let's look at the current pace of nominations. unlike president bush, president obama did not extend an olive branch by renominating any of the outstanding pending nominees that president bush had submitted that were being held up. in fact, he ignored a request by all of the republican members of this body to do that. instead, he chose judge david hamilton as his first nominee. he could hardly be characterized as a consensus nominee. 39 senators, all republicans, eventually voted against him after a full debate. a treatment of president obama's and president bush's nominees for the fourth circuit will illustrate what i'm saying. during the 110th congress, despite 33% vacancy rate in the courts, four of president bush's well-qualified consensus nominees to that court, the fourth circuit, were needlessly delayed and ultimately blocked. president bush nominated steve matthews in september o
