If W. had a Senate with spine in it, he would possibly have chosen someone else.

The Senate ate my homework. A leader leads. Bush 41 nominated Clarence Thomas and won against a Dem-controlled Congress. Politics is the art of compromise, but there are times when principle trumps expediency. Let the Dems and RINOs try to kill a qualified, experienced, Conservative nominee knowledgeable about the Constitution with a proven judicial track record.

There is no possibility of compromise any longer.

Democrats are fighting for their very existence. They wont give an inch and must be beaten like mules if we are to get anywhere. Their strategy is to try to insure that nothing happens under Bush and that they get their people back in power so they can get back in your wallet.

It is pretty bad when you raise the white flag even before the fight. A fight here, won or lost, would have been good for the GOP. The spineless GOP could then use the same tactics once the Democrats get in the White House, and force them to nominate more moderate justices. The White House should have dared Senate democrats to filibuster. Would Hillary really want to be part of a filibuster on Supreme Court nominess???? That is what I want to know.

I think they would do just that, and with suprising ease given the spineless RINOs we have in the Senate.
