Boxer is just trying to fire up her base--MoreOn.borg and the Whine Cellar.

And that's why they'll eventually find SOMETHING to label Roberts as 'unacceptable'.

The Senate Dem's have to filibuster Roberts. The wild-eyed now control the party and call the tune. It's kind'a like in 'Outlaw Josey Wales'... where the bounty-hunter comes back into the bar.

Bounty-hunter; “I had to come back.”

Wales; “I know.”

"The Senate Dem's have to filibuster Roberts. The wild-eyed now control the party and call the tune."

Perhaps. I think some of them understand that, barring some MAJOR revelation, they will look like fools, do real damage to themselves, and further weaken themselves. Specifically, if they filibuster this guy, it will be EASY for the Republicans to change the rules. They'll just say to the public: look, we tried to be reasonable, but these people are nuts and we need to get on with the business of government. And the public will applaud. And then, when Ginsberg, Rehnquist, and Stevens retire, they'll have NOTHING to use to oppose the elevation of Janice Rogers Brown, Patricia Owens, and Bill Pryor to the Court. (or even Ann Coulter, John Ashcroft and Karl Rove, for that matter).
