the nominations date back to october of last year. most were nominated before march. in fact, the circuit court nominees who republicans were refusing to consider date back to october, november of last year and january of this year. william k.ott was voted in mid april. richard taranta and judge shwartz were stalled by the senate since last march. republicans have shut down confirmation of circuit judges not just in june or july but in fact for the entire year. the senate has yet to vote on a single circuit court nominee nominated by president obama. the american people don't want to see this kind of picayune political infighting. no wonder they hate the congress. no wonder they hate the congress when they see this kind of stalling tactics. they want justice. they want action on measures the president suggests to help the economy and create jobs. not everybody standing around saying what's going to help one party or the other party's candidates in november. in fact, what they are doing now is a first. the past five presidential election years, senate democrats have ne

there was a formal nominating process. weeks later they would have a big speech, sort of like surprise, you're our nominee. the fellow doing it that year was warren harding, who had been chair of the convention. but he's undecided. even his family members and his closest associates are not sure what he's going to do. now there had been people in the early days of the republic who resigned from the court to take other positions. there had been a david davis on the court, '70s and '80s in the 19th century who took a nomination out in illinois but not since then and certainly not since hughes. >> and can you speak, add if you are also familiar with this, but he had been a politician before he came to the court. how was he hughes a national campaigner? >> that campaign is probably the worst thing he ever does in his life, his life really, not just his public career because he excels at everything. but that campaign, he's getting off the mark slowly. it's -- he's doing a dance and it's the dance that jack kennedy and richard ni

the bork nomination has been as we know defeated. and then because i think the justice department as i point out in the book was not adequately prepared to come forward with a new nominee, we came forward with doug ginsberg. he is a talented and very smart individual, but we had not looked at his file closely enough. we had not anticipated the kind of problems that might arise in a nomination or a confirmation process. so that's why i say that it was not the right way to do the selection of a justice. >> well, let me ask you though, you criticized the f.b.i. for its process of looking at doug ginsberg and the white house internal people for not looking at his personal life. >> right. >> how many different people have a hand in selection of a judge like this? >> well n the selection of a supreme court justice, many people who have a hand in it. the justice department typically has the lion's share of the work in terms of looking at the substance of the individual. his judicial opinions or his other writings or speeches, but the f.b.i.

to say as i ask you to consider my nomination. chairperson kim: supervisor campos. supervisor campos: i know we have a number of people here at the hearing to speak on your behalf. and i can definitely understand why. i appreciated our conversation prior to this meeting and i was very impressed with the caliber of this nomination. i am wondering if you can speak a little bit about something that i know we talked about, and it is very important to me. i do feel the port of san francisco is one of the most valuable assets we have at this city. i also believe that in some way, there is a disconnection between the port and residents of certain communities. there is a disconnect between those neighborhoods and san francisco. the port is not necessarily something that people know much about or think about much. we wanted to make sure that we included a -- an event that could include more interaction between the port and all of our neighborhoods and communities. the thing i always find striking with respect to the port is that when peopl
