| Description | The bitterly partisan battle over President Bush's stalled judicial nominees on Thursday sparked the second public squabble in a week between Louisiana's two U.S. senators.
Republican David Vitter touched off the latest tiff when he took to the Senate floor Thursday to urge Democrat Mary Landrieu to break with her party and help end the filibusters that are blocking votes on seven of Bush's appellate court nominees.
In making his request, Vitter suggested Landrieu had disappointed "many folks, including me, quite frankly," when two years ago she supported the filibuster of Bush judicial nominee Miguel Estrada. Landrieu, he said, had expressed support for Estrada during her 2002 re-election campaign.
