Courting quality jurists Wed Apr 17, 6:18 AM ET 2002
"These are the same issues that interest groups use to promote or block judicial candidates today. The result is stalemate in which the public is the biggest loser. In fact, there are now 96 unfilled vacancies in federal courts. Nearly one-fifth of the seats on the important circuit courts of appeal are empty.
