But We CONTROL the Senate. That should be the end of the questioned.
We control the Senate, but if we can't get the votes, even among our moderate Republicans, there's no way the nominee will be accepted. It's unfortunate, but there it is.
And for those freepers who say they will never vote for a Republican again (for various reasons), this is a case in point why it's so important to not only maintain our majority, but increase it.
Unfortunately we do not control the Senate. The Democrats + Democrats-in-GOP-clothing (Specter, Snowe, Chafee, et al) form a solid majority in that chamber.
Amazing how the Majority of 55 lets the Minority of 44 run all over them.
Who cares what Schumer and Teddy think about any nominee??
