I see no evidence that referred to committee is different than nominations. Circuit Court Nominations Referred to Received Voted on by Voted on Committee Hearing Committee by Senate 1993 5 3 3 3 93-94 22 20 19 19 2001 58 7 6 6 01-02 61 21 20 17 That set of numbers says it all. 72% of President Bush's nominees denied a vote versus 14% of Clinton's not receiving a vote. Notice most of Clinton's came in his second year, and most of President Bush's came in his first year. 86% of Clinton's Circuit court nominees approved in his congress. 28% of President Bush's nominees approved in his first congress despite nominations being submitted earlier. senate.gov Look at the list of total number of nominees sent over, vs. total number approved, and you will straight-away see that the Clinton and Bush II success ratios are fairly similar --- however with Bush II being MORE SUCCESSFUL thus far. Huh, (61 / 21) > (22 / 20)? Is this new math?
