Senate Republican leadership is worthless! We must take matters in our own hands and make sure that the crapweasel dems understand what they face when they obstruct and do not allow presidential nominees an up or down vote!

We have to do something here!

[superskunk]

dems promising to oppose all Bush's judicial nominees for frivolous reasons and suggesting the any nominee not willing to promise that he/she would never vote to overturn Roe v. Wade

There's no constitutional basis for that. They president is supposed to appoint judges and justices with the counsel and consent of the Senate. That doesn't mean that they can dictate terms. It just means that they can deliberate on a candidates qualifications.

That's why the nuclear option should be used to break unconstitutional filibusters. Senate Republicans should use it with complete confidence and assurance.
