Following up yesterdays post on this is todays story from the Washington Times:
Conservatives are furious over a Republican proposal to create two new Michigan-based judicial seats in exchange for getting Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat, to lift his blockade on four of President Bushs nominees from that state. . . .
"The report that Chairman Hatch would even consider rewarding Sen. Carl Levins detestable tactics by handing the Michigan Democrat two new judgeships ... is unconscionable," said Richard Lessner, director of the American Conservative Union.
"This is tantamount to paying blackmail. Its the result of the Republican failure to take a more aggressive approach to the Democrats unprecedented filibustering tactics."
