"Consensus" nominee, huh? I cannot believe the arrogance of that woman! When her husband was President, he named who he thought best reflected his beliefs and his party's philosophy. He didn't go looking around for a consensus candidate. This is another example of Democrats trying to get the President to give them what they can't win at the ballot box.

("Denny Crane: Gun Control? For Communists. She's a liberal. Can't hunt.")

[RobbyS]

Yeah, like Breyer and Ginsberg were consensual candidates.

[Just A Nobody]

Does anyone think she would get a single repubbie vote?

Of course she would. She would still be confirmed with 90 or better, votes. Have you not been been watching these spineless sinators?

Good idea from Hillary for a change. Janice is leading in the
consensus department.

Dear Hilderbeast
Bush won, you and yours lost, BITE ME!!!!!
Now President Bush and the majority party (the right wing) can do what ever they please.

[FlipWilson]

I agree with you, but it is all about playing chess. The best way to play in this case is to enrage the dems from the get go. Make them actually think they are going to have influence, then BAM!!! Pull the rug out from under them and nominate a conservative anyway. It will absolutely unbalance them and throw sympathy on the nominee.

This battle is about more than the nominee. Its about showing the American People, time after time, who the dems really are, and what they really stand for.

As a matter of fact, that should be the goal of any agenda the President puts forward. To make the dems take a stand (by filibustering, by casting outrageous votes) based upon their true beliefs.

very well put

[Dawgreg]

Just another example of how shameless this witch is. Uh, like her wife did with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.......yeah, that was consensus.

"Have you not been been watching these spineless sinators?"

Sorry, I had momentary visions of -R Senators with 'nads.

[Redleg Duke]

We have a consensus, Hitlery. You are guilty of treason and murder. Your pantsuite for your next birthday will be orange.

[Texas WOP]

Ouch! That is a visual I could do without.

[gridlock]

Hillary! 2008 is such a moron. New York should be ashamed of itself.

[Gay State Conservative]

Clinton:43% of the vote.....Ginsburg and Breyer

Bush:51% of the vote...Roberts and whoever he damn well pleases.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hillary! 2008 is such a moron. New York should be ashamed of itself.

Being a New Yorker means never having to say you're sorry.

[BenLurkin]

Exactly

[mom.mom]

She's right about consensus! However the "consensus" should be among CONSERVATIVES, not the Senate and we have an approved list.

HRC does not want to serve, she wants to rule.

[Ghengis]

Yeah. Like she ever sought a consensus when she told Bill who to nominate.

[Just A Nobody]

I understand chess and MOOSEMUSS.

The best way to play in this case is to enrage the dems from the get go.

The fact that PRESIDENT Bush breathes, enrages them, and he has been playing on it for nearly 5 years.

[citizensgratitude]

gridlock, NJ has its skeletons too.....
