There's more evidence today that the Filibuster-Reform im Januar<\/a> war alles andere als das. Heute Morgen haben die Republikaner im Senat daf\u00fcr gestimmt, eine endg\u00fcltige Abstimmung \u00fcber die Nominierung von Caitlin Halligan f\u00fcr das US-Berufungsgericht f\u00fcr den District of Columbia zu blockieren. Dieses Gericht gilt weithin als das zweitwichtigste im Justizsystem nach dem Obersten Gerichtshof. Wie die ehemalige Richterin Patricia Wald schrieb letzte Woche in der Washington Post<\/a>, aside from SCOTUS, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals \"resolves more constitutional questions involving separation of powers and executive prerogatives than any court in the country.\"<\/p>

Although it should have 11 judges, it only has 7 today. This means overworked judges, a growing list of pending cases per judge, and extraordinarily delayed access to justice. This court hasn't had a new appointment since 2006.<\/p>

President Obama nominated Caitlin Halligan to fill one of the seats. Ms. Halligan is currently General Counsel at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. She previously served as Solicitor General of New York State for six years. She's backed by prominent attorneys across the philosophical spectrum, including President George W. Bush's assistant solicitor general Miguel Estrada, and Seth Waxman and Walter Dellinger, Solicitors General in the Clinton Administration. The non-partisan American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary unanimously gave her its highest possible rating -- \"well-qualified.\"<\/p>

Pr\u00e4sident Obama hatte sie im letzten Kongress nominiert, doch die Republikaner erh\u00f6hten den Einsatz, indem sie f\u00fcr ihre Nominierung 60 Stimmen verlangten. Obwohl sie von beiden Seiten 54 Stimmen erhielt, fehlten ihr 6 Stimmen zu den 60, die n\u00f6tig w\u00e4ren, um die Filibuster-Taktik zu beenden.<\/p>

So the President re-submitted her nomination this Congress. But a faction of Republicans demanded 60 votes, yet again. Although some senators could not make it to the chamber to vote because of the snowstorm, she still received a bipartisan vote of 51 senators. But that's not enough to move forward. Thus, the filibuster continues. Senator Reid moved to reconsider the question on cloture and end the filibuster in the future, so we can expect another vote soon.<\/p>

Senator Chuck Schumer, Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, took the floor and noted that the ongoing filibuster of Caitlin Halligan violates the \"spirit\" of the rules reform at the beginning of this Congress. I would have gone one step further. It violates the way the Senate is supposed to work.<\/p>
