this small nugget found at tag end of Wash Post article on judicial
nominees:

Pushed directly to floor (party-line vote)
without allowing any committe hearings leading to committe
recommendation (this is very unusual, & has effect of creating less
media attention about nominee):

Nominee John Leon Holmes for fed Distr Ct (Ark)
What's different about J.L.Holmes, compared to mainstream nominees?

"[in a] 1997 religious publication [Holmes wrote] that 'the wife is to
subordinate herself to her husband' and [his] earlier statements
compar[ed] the abortion rights movement to the Nazis."
