In November 2004, voters returned President George W. Bush to office for a second term. They also expanded the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate while South Dakota voters defeated Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, in large measure because of his leading role in blocking President Bush’s judicial nominees. With Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) now leading the minority, many hope that the partisan obstruction of judicial nominees that plagued the 108th Congress will be diminished.

Nevertheless, with the likelihood of a Supreme Court vacancy, the judicial confirmation process in the 109th Congress promises to remain contentious as some Senators continue to vow to employ unprecedented techniques to block confirmation of several nominees.

In Confirmation Watch, the Center frequently provides in-depth commentary and analysis of the state of the judicial confirmation process and an up-to-date list of nominees yet to be confirmed by the Senate. Check back here often as we frequently highlight the credentials of the nominees in Nominee Spotlight. We also provide you the interactive ability to send an e-mail to your senators urging them to end the political brinksmanship that is eroding the efficacy of the federal judiciary and confirm the judges.

This listing is not meant to endorse any of the nominees, but to encourage the timely fulfillment of the Senate’s constitutional duty to the confirmation process.
