Federal Judgeships
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2001-05-02/federal-judgeships
For years, Republican members of Congress stymied President Clinton's attempts to appoint federal judges. Today some GOP representatives want to change the procedure for appointing judges so that Democrats can't return the favor. A panel talks about the politics of filling vacancies on the federal bench, and how it's affecting the judicial system.
