Or when we will see votes on the 60 judicial vacancies?

See http://judicialnominations.org/

And when can I expect to see the EPA director confirmed?

And when will I see an ATF director confirmed?

This bullshit is nothing to celebrate. They have just taken another step to institutionalize sabotage of nominations. This is a great day for the GOP. But any day they negotiate with Obama or Reid is guaranteed to be a pretty good day.

Why should this be seen as a "cave"? Proud Liberal Dem Jul 2013 #23
