Terrence Boyle, President Bush's nominee for the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledges missing the appearance of a conflict of interest in four cases in which he is accused of ruling on litigants in whose companies his family held stock. "These situations were an oversight, an inadvertent mistake," Boyle wrote in a letter. It wasn't clear that the letter improved his prospects for confirmation. Democratic leader Harry Reid says his party will filibuster Boyle's nomination if it comes to the floor.
