Let’s face it. It’s always about “the economy,” stupid or not. And for the foreseeable future it will be so in spades, a fact, by the way, that demands Republican leaders follow main street conservative principles as they devise economic policies that put the American people first.

However, like the executives of our auto companies, Republicans must understand they can’t survive by fixing one thing at a time; for especially in politics, issues have a way of coming up when least expected — taking a stance on a judicial nominee, for example.

I mention the judiciary because with regard to it Republicans have some serious fixing to do. Why? To answer that, let’s review the ironic quality of Republican “production” and “marketing” of judicial policy since the fifties.

Barack’s judicial nominees need to be confronted blocked by Republicans, but are they up to the job?

They’d had better fight that is all I’m going to say.
