They're preventing Obama's other judicial nominees from getting confirmed. Why stop there?

At Least Republicans Will Be Consistent If They Block Obama's Supreme Court Pick

If Republicans spend the next year preventing President Barack Obama from filling a Supreme Court vacancy, which they're vowing to do, at least that nominee will have company.

More than 30 judicial nominees are currently waiting for the Senate to confirm them to federal court seats. Some have been gathering dust for over a year, like Waverly Crenshaw, a Tennessee district court nominee who was nominated on Feb. 4, 2015. He would fill a court seat that's been empty for 441 days. Susan Baxter, a Pennsylvania district court nominee, would fill a seat that's been empty for 913 days. That's more than two years.

Crenshaw and Baxter are among the 12 district court nominees who are ready for a Senate confirmation vote but going nowhere anytime soon. Another 22 district and circuit court nominees are sitting in the Judiciary Committee, waiting for a vote or a hearing of any kind.

It's not that these nominees are controversial. In fact, many were recommended to the White House by GOP senators. It's just that Republicans don't want Obama to put his judicial picks on courts.
