The Republicans didn't have the majority in the Senate when Bush first took office. They couldn't even get a nominee out of committee. I suppose, since they have had the majority, they could have filibustered. They could have brought the Senate to a stop, while Bush was trying to gather support for Iraq and the country was trying to recover from September 11 and a recession. Personally, I don't think the public would have seen that as a worthy priority.
Let the Dems win their little battles. Come election time, the party of diversity will have to defend their treatment of a Hispanic, black, woman and Christians. I am betting the public won't be with them and they will be made to pay. A longer process to be sure, but in the end far more successful.
The public won't even know the battles existed if we don't put up some kind of stink.

I wouldn't call that a safe bet at all. They will be distracted by whatever interests them at the time. Court appointments aren't high on the list compared to the economy or the WOT, and the Republicans will have to pay cash for the people to even know who those nominees were.
A longer process to be sure, but in the end far more successful.
If Hillary becomes President, you'll rue the day you folded so easily.
