This is off topic, but worth repeating:
"Chief Justice Rehnquist recently said that `[t]he Senate is surely under no obligation to confirm any particular nominee, but after the necessary time for inquiry it should vote him up or vote him down.' . . . Our institutional integrity requires an up-or-down vote."
145 Cong. Rec. S11875-76 (Oct. 4, 1999) (statement of Sen. Feinstein).
[...Our institutional integrity requires an up-or-down vote."...]
Feinstein said that? So she doesn't always drink the Koolaid. Fools on the hill!
