I'm personally a bit tired of the threats against this President.
Since when has he given conservatives reason to doubt him on Judicial nominations? The failure isn't with Bush. It's with people that refuse to believe he is who he is. With people that seem to prefer he screw up this nomination than take comfort in the belief his principle has aligned with ours on this issue throughout his presidency.
IF anyone wants to make a threat, which is only good if you back it up with more than rhetoric, make it against the RINO's in the U.S. Senate. Their record does not give reason for comfort.
The 'Rats and their media allies and supporters know - they are pleading for the President to nominate a "moderate" (i.e. moderate now, liberal on the bench). Would they need to do this is they thought the President would nominate a moderate anyway? NO! They know he'll nominate a Conservative candidate.
In addition, they wouldn't be screaming so loudly now if they didn't have grave doubts that the filibuster will hold.
