Table needs updating

President Obama nominated William Sessions on April 20, 2009 and was subsequently confirmed in October 2009. So Jarvishunt must have been mistaken when he "updated information" in his Februrary 2010 revision by changing the table to be correct as of "February 2010" (to which Rrius later updated to read April 2010) from reading October 2009. As the article on William K. Sessions III reads:

Sessions' nomination languished with no full Senate vote for more than six months, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid contending that Senate Republicans had stalled Sessions' nomination in retaliation for the speed of Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation process. Reid filed cloture on Sessions' nomination on October 20, 2009, and the Senate confirmed Sessions in a voice vote on October 21, 2009.

"so it was not unknown"

Isn't this an error, double negative type thing that turns the meaning on its head? Just wondering. --95.34.149.128 (talk) 13:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
