Looks like it's over for the only Indian nomination to the federal courts.....

newsok.com reports today that "Senators block Oklahoma City federal prosecutor from judge post."  This has been an ongoing story that looks like it's coming to an end.  "Faced with unrelenting — and mostly unexplained — opposition from Oklahoma's senators, the U.S. Senate on Saturday sent back to the White House the nomination of Arvo Mikkanen to be a federal judge in Tulsa."

Why?  Your guess is as good as ours......

You can read the full story HERE, and a shout-out of thanks to one of our friends in the US Attorney's Offices around the country for sending this along to us.
