A simple comparison of republican fillibusters under President Obama to every previous Presidential administration shows you that they have turned into thugs, and do not give two hoots for protocol, precedent, or compromise. Ditto public image. So the adults in the room finally took their ball.
Have you researched the background(s) of those ideologically-driven candidates to see whether or not it's simply *substandard* people put forth?

yes, this has been researched many times. President Obama has selected extremely qualified people and his selections tend to be uncontroversial ... Originally Posted by Boon Mee

This is simple to see in the fact that once votes are finally held for his nominations, there is essentially no opposition....
didn't you already know that?

Jumping Ship
A longtime Texas judge became the first statewide Democratic officeholder since 1998 after he switched parties this week.
According to the Star-Telegram, state criminal appeals court judge Larry Meyers filed on Monday to seek Place 6 on the state’s Supreme Court as a Democrat, making him the first Republican in 15 years to switch parties and run for statewide office.
“I am thrilled to welcome Judge Meyers to the Texas Democratic Party,” Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa remarked. “I am even more excited to know that Judge Meyers doesn’t stand alone. Every day, I hear from real voters that our party represents the strongest path forward for our state.”
“Texas is changing and voters will continue to reject a Republican Party more focused on ideology than ideas.”
Even if Meyers loses his bid for the Texas Supreme Court, he will continue to serve on the Court of Criminal Appeals until at least 2016.Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Let's take a look at how things went last night.
Democratic state Sen. Katherine Clark won Tuesday’s special election for a Massachusetts congressional seat, easily defeating Republican attorney Frank Addivinola, the Tea Party candidate.
She will succeed Democrat Ed Markey, who vacated the suburban Boston-area 5th District seat earlier this year after he was elected to the U.S. Senate. Markey had held the seat since 1976.
