Exactly. If he fought it--with conviction, by proposing a candidate who would support our Constitution (leave the issues out of it)--then the American people would see the Left (including the Gang of 7) obstructing the Constitution.
Why the hell not direct anger at McCain and Graham right now? They're the ones with Presidential aspirations. They're the ones to make an example of, on behalf of all conservatives. They're the ones who made the power grab to give them the ability to define whether a nominee they think is too extreme deserves a floor vote, even if Bush nominated someone whom he didn't think was so extreme.
I think everybody ought to read this primer on the Gang of 14 over the weekend, and come back next week guns ablaring at McCain, Graham, et. al. - it would certainly be more productive for conservatives to do that instead of what they have been doing.
Friggin' Graham sold out on the idea of appointing known conservatives with credentials in favor of social security reform, and then didn't accomplish a thing on social security reform. He should be twisting in the wind -- his political aspirations should be taking a hit right now. But no, it appears conservatives want to make certain instead that Bush isn't elected to a third term, or take it out on Jeb, who had nothing to do with Miers.
Dumbasses killing themselves.
