As of November 7, 2013, the total number of Obama Article III judgeship nominees to be confirmed by the United States Senate is 211, including two Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States, 39 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals, 168 judges to the United States district courts, and two judges to the United States Court of International Trade. 53 await confirmation....So lets end 226 years of precedent in order to stop the obstructionist in the Senate. Senator Barack Obama on the nuclear option in 2005: I urge my Republican colleagues not to go through with changing these rules, he said on the Senate floor in 2005. In the long run it is not a good result for either party. One day Democrats will be in the majority again and this rule change will be no fairer to a Republican minority than it is to a Democratic minority. Todays quote from President Barack Obama: A deliberate and determined effort to obstruct everything, no matter what the merits, just to refight the results of an election is not normal, Obama said of the change. And for the sake of future generations, it cannot become normal. Funny how much a man changes once he gains power. The GOP is no better than the Democrats but today will go down in infamy...the power of the mob now rules this country with an iron fist. The message that was sent loud and clear by todays move: Dissent is no longer allowed. politicalticker.blogs.cnn/2013/11/21/harry-reid-likely-to-go-nuclear-today/
