There is no point in starting an argument that even if won has no effect on any outcomes

He would not have been STARTING an argument. It was started in the first moments of the proceedings. What he had to do is defend himself, defend LIFE.

I think he would have had quite a tremendous effect on the country if he would have showed that he stood by his convictions, that he was not afraid to fight for what he believed, and then to have gone ahead in an eloquent intelligent articulate way stating why 40 million abortions, 3000 a day, has been a terrible defeat on so many fronts for US as a country and as individuals. Geez this is the Supreme Court of the United States we are talking about and the guy is pleading the fifth with a jury that is already on his side.

So you think one speech in a senate hearing room would solve anything? Because that ONE Speech would be the end of it.

Does the fact that he would never sit on the supreme court if he made that speech ever enter into your equation?

Until (and even after) the Republican majority in the senate greatly exceeds its current level, you can not take the "Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead" approach, and expect to get anywhere other than sunk.

But if you really believe that going down in a blaze of glory before even getting to decide one single case from the bench is important, why not write Bush and Roberts a letter?
