We might have to stomach Casey--which I would hate--but the next Republican would toe the line, which is what we want.

Attitudes like yours would seriously compromise conservative judicial confirmations or, worse yet, cause us to lose the Senate. The latter of course would ensure that the judiciary remain activist and would continue to allow the the left to promote their agenda through the courts rather than the legislature. Not to mention the impending battle for the SCOTUS.

I think controlling the judiciary is one of the most important domestic issues we face. FR is even planning a march on DC to end judicial activism. Santorum may not be your ideal representative but he is a hell'uva lot better than Collins, Snowe, Chafee and Specter. With Santorum we continue to control the Senate and judicial appointments. Bob Casey will never support any conservative judicial nominations.

Nothing wrong with being idealistic but when so much is on the line concerning our out of control judiciary we need to also be pragmatic.

Well, I totally agree with your last two paragraphs. Your first is...well, fodder for disagreement. Let me see, are you saying that, due to the agreed need to have conservative judicial confirmations, we have to elect Santorum, who is responsible for Arlen being able to block those very confirmations?

I have trouble with that reasoning.
