a vote for Bush means he'll appoint a liberal like his daddy... His nominating people like Pickering and Estrada for federal judgeships says otherwise.

Oh, he'll nominate them, all right; his Federal judge picks (Estrada, Pickering, Rogers Brown, etc.) have been very impressive. But unless he can put the squeeze on Frist and Hatch to actually DO something about getting them confirmed, Leaky Leahy and Co. will make sure they never get confirmed.
It is time for Bush to get Frist, Hatch, and the GOP Senatorial leadership up to the White House and read them the riot act. The time for niceness and compromise in the Senate is over; look what's happening on the judicial obstruction memos, Frist and Hatch are rolling over like puppy dogs to Kennedy and the Dem pit bulls.
Plain and simple, the GOP Senators have to have the law laid down to them: Do whatever it takes to get those nominations confirmed, or don't count on any support in a Bush second term. It is a matter that is too important for the future of the country to be decided by the Democrats. It's war. Plain and simple. The Republicans in the Senate have to fight. And if they don't, they must be replaced.
Right now, Hillary Clinton's proving to have bigger balls than Bill Frist, Orrin Hatch, and Trent Lott *combined*.
