Nope... all I'm pointing out is that --- thus far ---- Bush has scored a much higher success rate at getting his court nominees approved.

And, by the end of Bush's second term, you will be able to compare a full 8 years for Bush with a full 8 years for Clinton, and have a definitive answer for "who achieved a higher approval rate for their court nominees".

Currently though, Bush is running ahead.
================================================

...Overall, although not a single Clinton-nominated appeals judge was voted down by the Senate, blue slip and related delays and blockades meant that the Senate approved only 61% of President Clinton's appellate court nominees, compared with 87% of those nominated by President Reagan. In 1999-2000, 19 out of 32 Clinton appeals court nominees — roughly 60% — were blocked from receiving a vote."
