Seventh Bush judicial nominee blocked
Tom at 4:08 PM ET
William Myers, a solicitor in the Department of Interior (DOI) from 2001-2003, had his judicial nomination blocked by Senate Democrats. Myers was nominated by President Bush to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals and his nomination was fought by Senate Democrats who criticize Bush's environmental policies and Myers' work on behalf of cattle and mining interests. Myers becomes the seventh Bush judicial nominee to be blocked in the Senate. Bush has had 198 nominees confirmed, and has used recess appointments to temporarily seat two of the blocked nominees. AP has more. The DOI press release from Myers' Senate confirmation to be a DOI solicitor is here. Several newspaper editorials critical of the Myers' nomination can be found here.
