ConfirmThem

National Review has just started up a new blog, called "Bench Memos," which is focussed on judicial confirmation issues. It's now linked over at the right side of the confirmthem page.

Sean Rushton is one of the bloggers there, and he has a post on the latest derogatory remarks coming from the filibusterers. Evidently, Sen. Harry Reid is publicly referencing confidential FBI files on one of the filibustered nominees. Perhaps some day Senator Reid will pay a price at the polls for unbecoming conduct.

UPDATE: Howard Bashman notes that Senators Leahy, Stabenow, and Levin have previously remarked about unspecified allegations against Judge Saad. Bashman also notes that a closed-door discussion of those charges was once inadvertently broadcast over the internet.
