Reid went on the record saying he wants the confirmation process to be as free of political warfare as possible.

Reid's auto response to any Republican position is obstructionist lies.

We in Nevada at least have Senator Ensign. He almost
beat Reid a few years ago. He won his Senate seat
in a later election. I have watched Senator Ensign
counteract Reid's votes on many issues. This new/old
fight will be the same once a nominee actually reaches
the Senate floor. I know this is a small point, but
every bit helps.
