Not Unprecedented: Misinformation From McClellan
Someone needs to tell the White House — just repeating the same talking point doesn’t make it true.
Scott McClellan this morning, spinning on Air Force One:
What has happened in this Senate is unprecedented. There has not been a situation like this, where members of one party have blocked nominees from even receiving an up or down vote on the floor.
The truth, courtesy of People for the American Way:
[M]ore than 50 Clinton nominees were not even granted a hearing by the GOP-led Judiciary Committee. Six more who had hearings were not given the courtesy of a committee vote. In fact, 35 percent of Clinton’s appeals court nominees were blocked without a vote while the GOP controlled the Senate from 1995 to 2000.
