An e-mail from the National Republican Senatorial Committee hughlights a dubious day in our history: Democrat Obstruction Day. Sen. George Allen says:
"It's been two years to the day since President Bush sent the United States Senate his first batch of judicial nominees. This was a distinguished group of men and women from all walks of life. These well qualified individuals would make outstanding judges and would adhere to a proper judicial philosophy.
"The Senate Democrats' strategy of obstructing the President's nominees from getting a fair up or down vote has unfortunately led many people to mark this two-year anniversary with a dubious label 'Democrat Obstruction Day'.
"The Senate Democrats' current efforts continue as they signal their intentions to hold simultaneous filibusters on highly qualified nominees like Priscilla Owen and Miguel Estrada. The Democratic threats don't end there because they are also threatening to target other judicial nominees for potential filibusters."
