I don't know if either of you remember the Clarecne Thomas confirmation hearings. They were enthralling TV viewing. The Democratic Senate did everything they could, stooping to wild personal attacks, but still could not stop him.
Why couldn't GWB have nominated JRB, Emilio GArza, or Priscilla Owen? Each of them would have galvanized conservative support, and would have put Democrats on the defensive. And they nuclear option would be worth it for any of them.
Yeh, only to see about 6 or 7 RINOs fall off the vote itself.
Well Priscilla Owen asked not to be nominated and the President is only allowed nominate people who say yes.

I read Owens and Brown said "no thanks". The NY Slimes was going to investigate the Roberts childrens adoption until FR went into attack mode. What makes you think that the candidates WANT to go through that kind of he!!? If that's the case, the Prez can't tell us they all said "no".
