  2. A filibustered judicial nominee withdraws

    New York lawyer Caitlin Halligan, who was first nominated to the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., almost 2 1/2 years ago, has asked President Obama to withdraw her nomination. As The Times noted in an <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-judge-20130322,0,7123988.story">editorial</a> today, Halligan was the victim of a Republican filibuster in which all but one of the GOP senators voting refused to cut off debate on her nomination. Had the nomination proceeded to a floor vote, she almost certainly would have been confirmed.

  9. Cowardly Senate runs away from gun background checks

    Polls indicate that 80% to 90% of Americans support expanded background checks for firearms sales, but on Wednesday such a plan could not get 60 votes in the United States Senate. In the White House Rose Garden, surrounded by families of children gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Obama called the Senate vote &ldquo;shameful&rdquo; and declared that this was &ldquo;just Round 1&rdquo; in the fight to get gun safety legislation adopted by Congress.

There were two clear front-runners: former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The former governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, limped in third.
