Speaking of talking points, Republicans should hammer home the point that Americans have elected conservative Republican presidents, with only one exception, for the past TWENTY FIVE years: Reagan, Bush I, the exception, Bush II.

Out of those 7 presidential terms, Dems have had 2 (28%). Yet SCOTUS has 4 solid liberals out of 9 total (44%)--not including O'Connor. Since no liberal is retiring, they will retain their share despite their inability to win at the ballot box. Seems more than fair to me!

I would hope that some conservative on one of the shows would remind the Dem's of what the talking points were when Ginsburg was appointed to the SC. The argument than was that they needed to balance the courts given the last appointment, (C.Thomas).

Since Ginsburg was the last appointment we need to balance her appointment accordingly.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
