That's great post. well reasoned, well thought out and apparently well sourced but it won't make any difference to the Jim Jones wing of the Republican party. They've gone off of the cliff, reverted to their "terrible twos" and are irredeemable.

I have to agree with that.

It'd be hard to get someone confirmed, when the Republican Chairman of the Judiciary Committee opens the hearing with his no vote before any questions are asked. And don't think that he wouldn't do it.

We all knew that Sphincter would be a problem.

Yeah, I read Pukin Dog's post (anti-opus, reverse-opus?) And it made a lot of sense.

For me it's come down to whether or not I believe that Bush is a spineless wimp (not wanting to challenge the Dems and RINOs) or it's (as somebody stated) a "master storke" (sic).

He's never seemed to be a spineless wimp before. But I've never equated him as the shrewedest politican, either.

My whole paradigm has been shifted with this move.
