why not look at the big picture and see that a lot of this debacle belongs right at the feet of the Gang of 14. They almost guaranteed that the nominee would have to be mediocre.

Mediocre, in the mold of Thomas and Scalia.

And I agree, the Senate is a big part of the cause for having to go "stealth." I object to going stealth when it comes to constitutional principle, and neither the GOP or GWB is bitching about the anit-constitutional 60 vote hurdle erected by DEM liberals.

Heck, why not bring Myers (9th Circuit) and Boyle up for vote? They've been out of committee for months.

Because the gang won't agree to it.
