WASHINGTON – Republicans once again blocked the nomination of New Yorker Caitlin Halligan to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit yesterday, calling into question whether she ever will get a confirmation vote.
Halligan’s nomination needed 60 votes to overcome a Republican filibuster and allow a confirmation vote. The Senate voted 51-41 to end debate, during which Republicans called her "an activist judge" and questioned her views on gun rights, abortion and the war on terror.
