As Orrin Hatch mentioned, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a radically liberal judge, yet the Republicans did not do to her what the Democrats did to Bork. Bill Clinton had the right to pick her, like it or not. The senate's duty is to determine if the person is CAPABLE of doing the job, not whether the nominee fits their personal political philosophy.
Bork should have sailed through the confirmation proess. Roberts should, too. But kennedy and the other libs have simply decided "We'll vote against people based on whether they appeal to our political philosophy, because we feel like it."
Their party is drowning in quick sand, and the more they struggle, the farther down they go.
The Republican party has been more than kind to democrats (much more than most people would be), and their raving madness is turning the voters off. No one likes an angry, bitter, downer-type person spewing in their face every time they turn on the news!
I'm basically a very happy person, and when I see a democrat hack barking at the TV camera, I have to turn the sound off. Who needs crap like that in their lives?
