I think it actually helps the good guys to have democrates vote against Roberts. If they can't show they'll support a man a large majority of America believes is qualified for the Supreme Court, then they lose credibility when they start whining about the President trying to divide the country with the next candidate. Personally, I think the President ought to nominate William Bennett or Ted Nugent. What's he gonna do...lose the support of the dems?
At least with Ted Nugent we'd have someone decidedly pro-gun!
Ted Nugent would never be confirmed after writing that "I'm A Bad American" brief.
