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.

as Quinn said, what 's to stop legislating Roe vs. Wade out of existance? If we can't get judges to do it, go the other governmental direction.
Nice tagline... what about, "If you want to know what the left is up to, look at what they accuse their opponents of doing."
