On March 6, 2003, the Senate failed to end debate, as the 55-44 vote fell five short of the 60 that would be needed to cut off an ongoing filibuster against Miguel Estrada's Nomination to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a 10-9 vote on January 30, 2003.  Estrada's nomination was withdrawn on September 4, 2003.
