Of note there is Obama didn't really get anything significant or prominent. That he (or the party) didn't push for Judiciary or Finance might indicate that he's taking a bit of a low profile for the next couple of years.

Neither of these lists are final, but both come from the parties themselves. Now they'll bang out the exact ratios and whatnot, probably end up pretty close to as it is above, just a few less Democrats.

Judiciary's gonna be a fucking dogfight. Jesus.

Judiciary, both parties:

Specter
Leahy
Hatch
Kennedy
Grassley
Biden
Kyl
Kohl
Dewine
Feinstein
Sessions
Fiengold
Graham
Schumer
Cornyn
Durbin
Brownback
Coburn

They should just pair off and knife fight.

BTW, Bush announced that he's renominating all his judges that failed confirmation last term. Judiciary Democrats are already walking into session pretty pissed off about that.

I'm annoyed, depressed, frustrated, irate, enough reading my current book, I don't think I can look at that list.
