Anyone who called for the President to withdraw the nomination prior to hearings IMHO was against an up or down vote. Do you really want me to type the names?
You want me to believe that all of those calling for her name to be withdrawn were concerned with HER best interests. Yeah right. The Brooklyn Bridge is for sale, interested?

A ridiculous assertion. Blocking an up-or-down vote is an issue of resorting to undemocratic tactics to block the legitimate expression of the will of the majority of the Senate. Calling for the President to withdraw a nomination is advising the president to begin damage control. We'd rather the nomination be withdrawn than thrill the Democrats by forcing the issue to a televised internecine quarrel. It was our way of saying, "let's settle this spat while we're at home, rather than letting it turn into a knock-down drag-out fight in front of the neighbors."
It never ceases to amaze me when FReepers tell other FReepers what their own motives were.
