Daschle’s 95%

Yesterday on Meet the Press, Thune zinged Daschle that he was unconstitutionally holding up judicial nominations. Daschle responded, not by questioning the charge of violating the constitution but by saying that the Senate’s confirmed 95% of the judges nominated by Bush. As one astute reader notes, Since when is it okay to be only 95% in compliance with Constitution? The issue of course isn’t how many judges are confirmed but that they are dealt with according to the correct procedure.
