The James Cole nomination for Deputy Attorney General has been languishing for almost a year.  It was covered here the last time his nomination failed on the floor of the Senate in December.  It happened again on May 9.  50-40, the Senate could not get cloture and his confirmation appears less likely than ever.  First it was military voting, then terror trials, and now it is Senator Grassley not getting the answers he wants from a stonewalling DOJ over project gunrunner.
