...Or Kennedy and his people could get Tommy Daschle to help them. (...I understand he's 'unemployed' just now. Thanks, John!) Daschle wanted to pick the judges himself a while back, if my memory serves. I guess some things just never change.

"It will be the office of the President to nominate, and, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint. There will, of course, be no exertion of choice on the part of the Senate. They may defeat one choice of the Executive, and oblige him to make another; but they cannot themselves choose -- they can only ratify or reject the choice of the President." --Alexander Hamilton (1788), Federalist No. 66

The Dems hate. They hate with a vengence. Top of the hate list is Bush. If Bush did everything they want, they would still hate him. There is no way to bring "unity" to a group of people who live in a world of "relativism" because relativism is just that: no boundaries, no concrete rules, no set of values or standards uniformly applied to all citizens. Republicans are prepared to set standards built on a foundation of Christian values in concrete. Unity will never happen.
