Democrats have blocked 10 of Bush's 215 judicial nominees through filibuster threats, contending they were too far to the right to be fair judges; 205 have been confirmed.

Reid addressed that record in a speech Monday morning at the Sperling Breakfast in Washington.

"Apparently, that 95 percent confirmation rate -- better than the last three presidents -- is not enough for George Bush," Reid said in prepared remarks on his Web site.

"They want more ... even if it means shattering the checks and balances in our government in order to put radical, right-wing judges on the bench."
