What we need are Congressional GOP leaders with the testicular fortitude to stand up to the 'Rats and tell them that we are ready to go to any lengths to force up or down votes of judicial nominees in the Senate. People can try all they want to blame this on Bush, but the problem is that the GOP leadership in the Senate has been unwilling to go to the mat on this issue.

The problem is that the GOP Senate leadership doesn't have the numbers to go to the mat. The Senate make-up is roughly 47-48 Republicans, 44 Democrats, 1 independent, and about7 or 8 RINOs.

Where were the pro-life voters in bible-belt states like Arkansas and Louisiana when those states elected 3 Democrat Senators? Apparently a lot of nominally pro-life voters in those states were more concerned about keeping their entitlement programs growing ever larger than they were about the millions of babies who will be murdered because we can't get pro-life judges confirmed.
