Hell is getting cold.
Sen. Marco Rubio isn't standing in the way of Florida judicial nominee Darrin Gayles. Marco is allowing the Senate Judiciary Committee to go forward with Gayles' nomination for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Marco has submitted his blue slip to the committee. This blue slip is the 'ok' for a candidate to move forward. Florida Democrat Bill Nelson also turned in his blue slip, which gives the committee chairman Patrick Leahy the sign to move forward with a hearing.
Darrin has more steps to take in the process. If he gets it, he will be the nation's first black, openly gay man to serve as a federal judge.

Hey Marco? What's the Cuban word fro "flip-flop"?
Firstly, maybe hell isn't freezing over. Maybe the truth is that Republicans are not the homophobic bigots they have been portrayed as on this blog and other places. Secondly, sounds to me like Bob Slatten is trying to have it both ways. If Rubio had blocked the nomination Mr. Slatten would be bitching about that as well.
YAY!!
