We STILL have a democrat filibuster threat, we STILL have the same group of Republican senators who won't vote for the nuclear option, and I assume George Will STILL thinks that the nuclear option is unconstitutional.
So, what makes you think that Brown or Luttig or Owens will get past this group? And how many of your acceptable candidates are going to want to go before the firing squad?
It will be a rare nominee that won't be filibustered by the left or picked to death by the right.
I think the Dems would look like outright buffoons if they fillibustered Brown, or any of the potential nominees who've already been cleared for federal circuit Judgeships.
I say, let the Dems try and claim that the voted for Brown, Luttig, or whomever for federal Judge, but NOW think those same people are too "extreme" for SCOTUS.
Bring it ON!
hahaha!! Read post #41
I honestly did not read your post before I posted.
It is rare we have an opportunity to change the court for the better. A chance to correct horrendous rulings assulting free speech and property rights. These are issues people die to protect.
How many of Bush's other nominees have been "picked to death by the right?"
As for the Senate--I suspect at least some of them are going to start to take us a little more seriously, and stiffen their spines.
