I remember a republican telling Hannity that:
The reason we can't get our judges through is because we have too many Rinos. At least ten republicans said they would not vote to change the filibuster rules. All we needed was 51. We have 51. But many are Rinos.

And more compassionate conservatism will bring in more Rinos. It basically comes down to the Pro Life Issue. If a judge is Pro Life, rinos will not support, even a republican appointment. More compassion means really much less compassion because compassion without courage in cowardliness.

Only ten? Just damn. The Democrats want the filibuster rules changed. Yeah, we needed 51, we had 51, the Democrats said the rules should change that we need 2/3 majority, yet the judges were still filibustered. The Democrats notoriously have never liked the rules, they're always trying to change the rules.
