Let's see, I was callled elitist, told I knew nothing about constitutional law and told I had a "perfervid filthy little mind" -- my favorite. I saw post after post decrying the name calling on both sides, though I saw very little of that from folks who had genuine concerns about this nominee for various reasons. Now all those busy little bees -- who did most of the name calling in a misguided effort -- will be back at work on other topics just like nothing happened. They learned nothing, they forgot everything, and they moved cheerfully on their way.
You can thank the noodle spined Senate "GOP" (haw, haw, haw, haw!) for putting Bush in this position. Any red meat for an O'Connor position would get something like 35 GOP votes and no Democrats. Unlike the physicians of yesteryear, I really don't think that bleeding an already deathly ill patient will help him at all. Much better that the powder be kept dry with an eye to 2006 elections to further build up the Senate against the true battle royale which will occur when Stevens, Ginsburg, and/or Breyer meet their maker.
Why, you weren't called a "sexist", too? You got shorted....LOL!
Looks like we who first questioned the nominee's qualities amid all of those rattling politicos are seeing those apprehensions validated.
Hey now, they're all just waiting on the hearings so they can "get the information they need to make up their minds". LOL! Blackbird.
