But we sure don\'t.<br><br>On its official witness list, the Senate Judiciary Committee lists Ricci as Director of Fire Services, ConnectiCOSH (Connecticut Council on Occupational Safety and Health). And that\'s understandable--he boasts as much on his website.<br><br>The problem, unfortunately, is that there is no such position.<br><br>Seeking to distance themselves from Ricci, ConnectiCOSH has sent a letter to Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) asking him to correct the record. "Mr. Ricci has posted on his website that he is the "Director of Fire Services for ConnectiCOSH" but there is no such position with ConnectiCOSH," writes ConnectiCOSH Co-Chair Steve Schrag.<br><br>    We have in no way authorized him to testify in relation to this nomination.

At a glance, I\'d say the non-existence of a "Director of Fire Services" position is probably evidence of anti-Ricci discrimination of some sort on the part of ConnectiCOSH, and they should either invent one or expect to be sued.<br><br>    ConnectiCOSH<br><br>    Ct Council on Occupational Safety & Health<br><br>    683 North Mountain Road · Newington, CT 06111 · (860) 953-COSH (2674) · Fax (860) 953-1038<br><br><br>    July 14, 2009<br><br>    Senator Patrick J.

Maybe I\'m a dork, but I think this has a lot going on and I\'m MOST intrigued by the reactions from non-black people. It has really re-enforced for me how different it is for them behind closed doors.

Any individual senator on the committee can place a one-week hold on a judicial nominee. "I expect that will happen," Sessions told reporters after the committee adjourned for a break early this afternoon, though he said the committee has a "realistic opportunity to complete this vote before August recess"--the desired deadline President Obama put forth when Associate Justice David Souter announced his retirement.<br></blockquote></div>\

The Sotomayor nomination has proved to be yet another test case for the efficacy of traditional conservative attack lines.<br><br>Republicans might have hoped to use this hearing to put limits on how far the President can safely go in picking liberals for future openings. Instead, they showcased just how narrow and out of touch their political base has become. . . .
