The really funny thing is, the Left will go after these two obscure, squishy moderate judges with a vengeance. MoveOn will be howling about how they make Clarence Thomas look "mainstream." Reid and the rest of the Dims are being too clever for their own good. Besides demonstrating for the whole world to see just what their promise to not talk to the media about this is worth (nothing), they're about to get scorched by their loony tune base, people who think Ruth Bader-Ginsberg is as far right as Scalia.
Good point! I am sitting here laughing at the thought of their own base torching them. This is perfect!
