Sen. Cornyn moves to stop filibusters on judicial nominees

The Senate rules committee has voted to eliminate filibusters for judicial nominees.

"This resolution is a reasonable, common-sense proposal," Sen. Cornyn said. "There are at least 26 laws on the books today that prohibit a minority of senators from using the filibuster to permanently block certain kinds of measures. The judicial confirmation process should surely be added to this list. By passing this resolution, the committee recognized that, and took a crucial first step in judicial nomination reform."
