"William Myers on Thursday became the first of seven judicial nominees blocked by Democrats and renominated by U.S. President George W. Bush to win the approval of the Senate Judiciary Committee. On a party-line vote of 10-8, the panel sent the nomination of Myers back to the full Republican-led Senate for another chance to be confirmed to a seat on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals." Renominated judicial nominee clears US Senate panel

"Myers, an Idaho attorney who has been a top U.S. Interior Department lawyer and an industry lobbyist, was among 10 federal appeals court nominees Democrats blocked during Bush's first term with procedural hurdles known as filibusters." People For the American Way don't like him. Neither does the San Francisco Chronicle. See, "And The Nominees Are".
