You and Ann Coulter want a big fight, with blood all over the floor.

Indeed, some people would rather fight than win.

I'd rather win. I support President Bush and his choice of Harriet Miers!

Defeatist. No need to surrender to Schumer so easily. I'd rather fight the good fight over a solid nominee and win!

So we didn't fight, and got Ginsburg. And we didn't fight hard enough for Bork, and got Kennedy. Reagan didn't pay attention and we got O'Connor. Wins like that we can do without.

I'm waiting for somebody to trot out Roman Hruska's (R-Nebr) defense of Carswell:

"Even if he was mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, and a little chance? We can't have all Brandeises and Cardozos and Frankfurters and stuff like that there."

I'd hoped it had been settled back in 1970 that the Supreme Court should indeed prefer 'stuff like that there'.

Do you really think all those big bad Senators would go after Janice Rogers, a sharecroppers daughter who rose to the ranks of Justice on the CA Supreme Court and not confirm her???

I don't think so. It would have been an historic, successful nomination, and we would have won in countless ways.

We have no idea what we're winning with Harriet Miers, or if we're winning anything at all.
