Mother Duffer

Senator Kyl had a graphic he presented with the huge number "67%" on it.  But Clinton was only at 71% for the same type of nominees.  Bah!

Who Writes for Jon Kyl

1. It's all over the place
2. It's self-contradictory
3. Even if he's making a good point on the 1892 USSC case, he covers it a slime of partisan falsehoods, degrading it (suggesting to me it isn't the precedent he suggests, either
4. He doesn't strike me as a particularly bright person (but who does?)

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.
