How would you know, from what I have seen coherence isn't your long suit?

Agreed. The guys a retired journalist. He makes stuff up to sell block-busters. Sorta like Merck selling a block-buster drug built on deception. What a shoddy profession. Worse yet, the pace that FreeRepublic gets spammed with these independent blogs has increased since its early days.

I have my own reservations about this appoinment. But, I also believe that White House counted noses on the committee and in the Senate as a whole and decided they would lose the fight if the put up someone with a proved record of conservatism.

I also believe that if we had picked the fight and "gone nuclear" we would have lost. Maybe we would not have lost that specific vote, but many, many subsequent elections. I do not believe that the vast majority of of electorate is with "us" in the regard.

Put simply, core conservatives want a fight. The rest of the country doesn't. As a consequence, we don't have one.
