WASHINGTON _ Sen. Tim Scott wants fellow Republicans to get smarter about judicial nominees _ specifically, to stop nominating judges with questionable records on race.
The South Carolina Republican earlier this month was instrumental in blocking confirmation of a second judge in four months over concerns about how they've dealt with race issues in the past.
But fellow Republicans showed no immediate signs they would do anything, anytime soon, to take some of the pressure off Scott, the Senate's only black Republican.
