From talkingpointsmemo, a letter written by Colorado Senator Wayne Allard has been posted:

In light of recent terrorist attacks, it is readily apparent that we face a new age of global unrest, a world in which terror has replaced formal declarations of war as the major threat against freedom and democracy. A necessary component of providing justice to those who would do harm to our nation is to maintain an efficient court system - a court equipped with the personnel and resources that enable it to fulfill its role as a pillar of our constitutional system of governance.

The current filibusters of President Bush's Circuit Court nominees clearly demonstrates an active effort by a minority of Senators to block the confirmation of well-qualified judicial nominees. I firmly believe that these tactics have damaged the judicial nomination process to an unacceptable degree, and now it must be corrected. It is shameful that the action of a handful of Senators has created a vacancy crisis that threatens the service of the very justice upon which our great nation depends.

:lol

Recent attacks? If he referring to 9/11? That's nearly four years ago, champ. Although I highly doubt he's referring to the 500% increase in terrorism over the last year under the Bush Administration! So be default, it looks like 9/11 is being pulled out of the closet again to "set people straight"!

I really don't get it. Republicans are such fucking hypocrites. They blocked some of Clinton's nominees too. This isn't anything new.
