Senate stalls federal judicial nominees amid court overload
The Chicago Tribune notes conservatives fear liberal judges while the Senate under Republican control stalls confirmations for over a year. With about 100 vacancies and 30 judicial emergencies, critics urge the Senate to fulfill constitutional duties and clear the backlog as 66 nominees await action and only 15 confirmed.

Delay of tapes shows political stupidity not sin
The article argues that the White House delay in delivering video tapes to the Senate committee reflects political blundering, not illicit intent. It notes missed audio on June 18, 1996 involving John Huang, Roger Tamraz, and donor interactions, plus the broader pattern of cautious cooperation and potential obstruction concerns raised by Sen. Arlen Specter. It calls for broader access to all tapes and warns of long-term political repercussions.
