I think you have bad information on the number and percentages of judges confirmed and denied by Hatch and Leahy. One important note is that only three judges have ever been stopped in committee not being allowed a vote on the floor, one was Pickering and the other two were under the Dems control in the 80's. Bush's judges aren't right wingers by a long shot but we'll agree to disagree.

Peter Moss is as close to a communist as you can get in my opinion. Check out his website at www.petermoss.org and see what you think.
