"the President's approval ratings have gone down which makes Congress nervous, being the cowards that they are"

Your logic seems to be that because his ratings are down it's OK to make a cowardly choice. I disagree completely with that idea, now is the time to stand up for what you truly believe in and I think that the President did just that. He made the cowards choice.

"she is the best person who he could have named who is conservative and who could get confirmed"

I'm not sure I agree with you on this point either.

There is no doubt in anyones mind the JRB is a conservative and I think she could get appointed with the help of the Vice President and of course we would also deal the death blow to the idea that SCJ's can be filibustered.

My posts do not take issue with your point of view, you may be completely correct in your assumptions, time will tell.

I take issue with your cheap shots at men and your method of reasoning. Because we disagree does not make me a "girlie man" no more than it makes you a she male.

Boy, I really struck a nerve with that comment! I will have to keep that in mind in future discussions.

The point is not that the President is a coward, dear sir. The point is that there are too many cowards in the Senate (lilke Susan Collins) who would NOT VOTE FOR a controversial nominee. What good would it do to Judge Brown to appoint her and send her through the meatgrinder of hearings, only to have her DEFEATED?

You people seem to play fast and loose with oother people's lives. Judge Brown has already been through this once. She is not someone to be placed in that situation simply to "make a point."
