    Too bad none of the president's hundred-plus judge nominees have been 
approved by the wonderful US Senate.... Might reduce that caseload a bit. 
That's something to keep in mind when you go vote, if you do - Senate 
control determines if we get open judge positions filled or not. Some on 
the list probably prefer to see all those cases bottled up than to see 
any Bush judges presiding over them. And some of us probably don't.
