But who broke it?

Dubya says the judicial confirmation process is "broken" because he can't get some of his nominees through. So who broke it? Republicans are trying to fix the problem by changing the rules, but the way I see it they would have better luck withdrawing some of their nominees and putting forward folks a little more palatable to everyone. Remember folks, judges are appointed for life. I don't think it's too much to ask to make sure that they're not confirmed on a straight party-line vote.
