Senate Republicans failed in seventh attempt to approve the nomination of Miguel A. Estrada to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Estrada would sit on a court that hears a number of Indian law cases. The Cobell case is currently before the D.C. Circuit.

A partisan battle also erupted before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. Democrats objected to the process for four appeals court judges from Michigan, saying they weren't properly consulted.
