I can't really blame someone for not wanting to go through this. By definition, the conservative judicial candidates commonly discussed as the best candidates are honorable people. How could they tolerate a blowhard like Kennedy accusing them being extreme? A man who in a just and honorable world would have been sentenced to the death penalty for his crime. I couldn't tolerate being grilled by a bunch of unhonorable hypocrites, and that covers about everyone on the committee.

The sad fact seems to be thatteh GOP is unable and/or unwilling to stand up for principle and against the bullies.

The bullies are taking our lunch money.
