As of yesterday, Judge Robert J. Conrad has waited 300 days to be confirmed by the Senate to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.  Conrad has the support of both North Carolina senators and has been unanimously rated “well qualified” by the American Bar Association (that organization’s highest rating).  Despite his stated desire to respect the wishes of home-state senators and despite the dangerous judicial emergency on the fourth circuit due to judicial vacancies, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), who is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appears unwilling to give Judge Conrad a swift hearing.
