The Reid Spin

I saw a short news clip of senate minority leader Harry Reid expressing that Pres. Bush shouldn't waste time on sending the same judicial nominees back through for appointment. He said that they had been turned down once already.

Excuse me Mr Reid, they were not turned down; you would not allow an up or down vote. Looks like BeldarBlogs had the same thought I had when I heard this.

BeldarBlog says:

Sen. Harry Reid is a liar.

None of the seven judicial nominees just resubmitted by President Bush have ever received an up-or-down vote on the floor of the United States Senate. None of them were voted down by "this chamber."
