This is a joke, right? Did Ruth Ginsburg represent the "mainstream" of America? But I'll bet Ms. Feinstein voted to confirm that extremist! These Democrats whining about the "far right-wing" is a joke, considering they would confirm a "far leftist", activist judge in a heartbeat!
Check out post #19 and the quotes therein. The people who are squealing about this are doing so because it is of political benefit to them.
