Bush sending consensus nominees to Senate

“The White House is being realistic knowing that it’s the end of the [presidential] term, and they are not going to get their people,” says Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond Law School professor. “Maybe it’s better to get somebody than nobody.”
Republicans, however, are still miffed that their preferred nominees are not getting hearings . . .
