Jon Kyl, Contradicting Himself and/or Lying

Let's ignore whether or not it is true, as Mr Kyl says, that most district courts judges are confirmed.

It is simply a fact that 60 Clinton nominees were not voted upon.  Either they were district court judges, which makes Mr Kyl's first statement a lie, or they were circuit court judges, which puts lie to his assertion that Mr Bush has had an unprecedented number of circuit court judges.  Perhaps a higher %, but not out of the ballpark.

Both sides are doing badly here.  Kyl is pouring gasoline on things.
