President Bush may have another fight on his hands over judicial nominees -- one that conservatives may like.

He is pushing the Senate to confirm five nominees as federal appeals court judges. Democrats have previously threatened a filibuster to block at least one of the nominees, Terrence Boyle, of North Carolina.
