Yes, mainly because Conservatives don't believe in incrementalism...they want it all...right now...their way or no way.

And of course you have some grand scheme that will explain why the Republican party moves left to go conservative I suppose....

Does that statement make sense to you?

Your statement 'Yes, mainly because Conservatives don't believe in incrementalism...they want it all...right now...their way or no way..

I gathered from that that the only way to reach a conservative goal is incrementally instead of all at once. I would like to know how moving left is moving toward a conservative goal of any sort. If I misunderstood you, please clarify

My statement has nothing to do with moving right or left. Why did you assume that? It has to do with strategy. And, no, incrementalism is not the only way to reach a goal. Why did you assume that, as well?

>>>What I said applies to countless postings here and you know as well as I do that it is accurate.

There are even more "countless postings" on FR, that apply to actual political conservatism. You're confusing traditional conservatism with rightwing extremism.

The question for you is simple. Don't you want to have more conservatives like Scalia's, Thomases and Rehnquist's on the USSC, then moderates like O'Conner and Kennedy?

They may need it in the future. Think of a small Democrap majority in the Senate ramming through a bunch of Commie judges.

That's already happened. The Pubs didn't filibuster. With respect to judicial nominees, they should absolutely change the rule.

Nope.

The question for you is simple. Don't you want to have more conservatives...

The answer is simple. Use the best strategies to attain that goal.
