Shelby Backs Down

Remember when I wrote that Richard Shelby had placed holds on every single Obama nominee because he wanted his pork?

Well, he's backed down, a little at least:
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) has released his controversial "holds" on more than 70 pending presidential nominations, his office said Monday night.
Note that his holds directed at anyone, or anything that might have to do with the USAF tanker RFP, remain in place though.
