I don't know about that. Republicans watched Thomas savaged by lies and allowed Ruth Buzzi and Breyer to effortlessly win confirmation. I don't see any new players with the take no prisoners attitude. The Republicans couldn't even muster enough votes in their own caucus to slap down the unprecedented filibusters mounted by the dangerous democrats.

Sorry, no signs of gonads yet.

You must not remember much about the Thomas confirmation hearings. When Anita Hill lied before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Republicans went after her with both barrels loaded. Arlen Specter caught her in a lie and publicly accused her of perjury. Indeed, liberals complained bitterly at the "treatment" Hill received. If the White House and Senate Republicans hadn't fought for him tooth and nail, he wouldn't have been confirmed.
