Senate Fails to Appoint Judges

In an unprecedented effort to thwart the will of the people, the conservatives in the U.S. Senate have blocked nearly every Obama judicial nominee. They are using "the single senator anonymous hold" procedure to deny dozens of Obama judicial nominees an up-or-down vote.

The question is: why is Harry Reid allowing this? Why are Obama's nominees not receiving the same treatment the majority Democrats gave George Bush's nominees?

Since the conservatives can not sustain a filibuster, Mr Reid should force an up-or-down vote, treating the Obama's nominees the same way they treated Bush's nominees.
