Changes Needed in Judicial Confirmation Process

There should be a law requiring the Senate to have a 'yes' or 'no' vote within a certain timeframe of EVERY nominated person under consideration for a federal judgeship.

For members on both sides of the aisle to delay judicial nominees is not right and it is not fair. If there is a problem with a particular nominee, bring it up, ask the nominee about it, then allow the vote to happen.

Let these people get on their lives instead of making them wait months or even years for a Senate vote.

Filibustering should end at the end of the timeframe and the vote should then be taken.
