"I'm talking about now. What would you do?"

I'd nominate a known conservative. There are dozens of them, and every freeper has a favorite. Personally I prefer the heavy duty intellects, people like Michael McConnell. They have shown that they have the intellectual fire power to change the court for generations. They are more, much more than just a reliable vote.

I'd put up a real conservative and let Armageddon begin.

Then I'd tell the boys over at the RNC to send out 500 million pieces of direct mail saying, "The Democrats are at it again! Their unconstutional filibuster of _____[insert name] is hurting America!"

I'd do rally after rally nationwide and I'd drag the entire thing out as long as possible until I knew we had the votes to beat the filibuster, or until it just coldn't go on any more.

Then....I'd nominate Janice Rogers Brown.

Then I'd nominate Priscilla Owen.

Then I'd nominate Edith JOnes.

If they managed to sustain all of those filibuster, then to really piss them off (assming he is still alive) I'd nominate Robert Bork. Just out of spite.
