If the Republicans had cajones, they would vote the three judicial nominees per the "compromise" and immediately put the other 7 up with a note to the Republican traitors, "You cause trouble, we are gonna nail you to the wall!"
The benefit of this strategy is that the three will have already been approved and they were the ones the Dems were most complaining about. It would be hard to shout down the remaining 7.
I agree with you.
They should do it.
But too many of them are defective physically - no spinal chord, no guts, no gonads.
I hope the voters in R.I., Maine, S.C., Va. etc. have the pleasure of getting to vote twice in an election season (once in the primary and again in Nov.) against their very own traitors. I do so enjoy the years when Arlen Specter runs so I can vote TWICE against him. Even though he always thwarts the efforts to get rid of him, I still enjoy it as much or more than having voted for candidates who win.
