In today's "Dateline DASHPAC," Tom Daschle states the following regarding the recess appointment of William H. Pryor to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals:
“I have not found an occasion in all of history that the President has made an appointment during a recess of a judge that had actually been rejected by a vote of the Senate.”
What is he talking about? Pryor and Pickering were never "rejected by a vote of the Senate." Neither nominee ever received a vote. The nominations of Pryor and Pickering couldn't be voted on in the Senate because Tom Daschle filibustered them.
