When it comes to seating a SCOTUS Justice, I'd rather have a discussion, debate and fight over constitutional principle than over whatever issues "stealth" and charges of cronyism bring to the table. So count me among those not getting the fight I wanted - I wanted a different fight, if a fight there must be.
But there shouldn't even be a fight, if judicial restraint and/or Presidential prerogative were respected by the DEMs and RINOs. Heck, even the GOP-lead Senate acts lilly-livered, tolerating the abuse of cloture to stiff the President.
But you were not going to get it either way. No matter what, you were not going to get that kind of fight.

Agreed. But we deal with what we have rather then the way things should be.
There is also something else to consider. John Roberts was as pure as the driven snow and he and his family were still attacked and subjected to disgraceful invasions of their privacy.
Families are now considered fair game. Until that is stopped you are going to have a number of qualified people saying "No, thank you." when they get the call.
