Then how did the partial birth abortion ban, the vast majority Bush court nominees, and tax cuts, etc, get passed?

By the dems knowing how to pick their fights.
(BTW, the dems hardly conceded the PBA ban, since they and the ACLU had a lawsuit filed the same day.)
The left KNOWS that the courts are the whole ball of wax.
That is the hill they have chosen to fight on.
So far, they are winning.
