Well, got home and got a chance to check out today's White House press briefing on C-SPAN. Turns out my skepticism in Sen. Tom Daschle's "we need more paperwork" excuse was on target. According to White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, Eugene Scalia was nominated April 30. His Senate hearing was Oct. 2. The last request for paperwork from the Senate was Oct. 5. That paperwork was delivered and they've heard nothing since.

If the Senate's waiting for more paperwork, maybe they ought to ask for it.
