Libya's election commission said Wednesday it is extending the registration period for voters until the end of the month, further delaying the elections for parliament that has an already expired mandate.

The parliament split between Islamists and non-Islamist groups was to be dissolved in February. Islamists led a motion to extend its mandate but after protests from opponents, the parliament agreed to an early vote, but didn't set a date.

On Wednesday, the head of the election commission Emad al-Sayeh said it is extending the deadline for registration from May 15 to May 29 to allow more voters to register. So far, only 1.2 million voters registered to vote in the parliament elections.

The Libyan parliament is sharply divided. Earlier this month, the parliament voted on a new prime minister amid disputes and walkouts between Islamists and non-Islamists. Finally, a new prime minister, Islamist-backed Ahmed Maiteg, was elected and sworn in despite an outcry from the non-Islamist forces.

In his first televised interview after he was sworn in last week, Maiteg promised to ensure a democratic transition and to pave the way for parliamentarian elections.

Libya has been plagued by weak governments and sporadic violence since the downfall of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi in an eight-month civil war in 2011. Successive governments have depended on militias to restore law and order, but the armed groups supported cities, tribes or political factions have pressured the government and parliament.

Washington (CNN) - Top Senate Democrat Harry Reid struck a significant blow to one of President Barack Obamas judicial nominations Wednesday, as the senators office confirmed that Reid personally opposes Michael Boggs nomination to the federal bench.

Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson told CNN that the Democratic leader feels he cannot vote for Boggs nomination to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, given Boggs past views on abortion, gay marriage and the Confederate flag.

The news sets up a pointed public break between the top two Democrats in the country.

White House spokesman Jay Carney defended Boggs on Tuesday, insisting he is qualified and has a ten-year record as an impartial state judge.

But there is more at play.

Carney also said the nomination was a strategic move. He told reporters that the White House pushed the Boggs nomination as part of a compromise package with Republicans. In exchange for Boggs, and a couple of other GOP recommendations, Carney said Republicans would stop blocking a handful key Democratic judicial nominees.

Our choice is clear: Do we work with Republican senators to find a compromise, or should we leave the seats vacant? Carney said.

But as the White House stands its ground, Reid is revving up opposition, stressing concerns raised by other Democrats in Congress at Boggs confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

Boggs served as a conservative Democrat in the Georgia state legislature from 2000 to 2004. During those years, he supported legislation to post the identity and number of procedures done by abortion doctors online, pushed for a Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and twice voted to keep a Confederate emblem on the Georgia state flag.

Those issues formed a drumbeat of doubt Wednesday, with six top Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee asking Boggs how he balanced his previous views as a legislator with his current duties as a Georgia court of appeals judge.
