What happens if all the Dems say no, all the 7 RINOs say no, and no amount of persuasion will change their minds?

Answer: the nominee is rejected.

McCain and the RINOs want the White House in 2008. They're not going to vote against the President after everything with Miers.

And what happens when 2 of 7 vote to confirm a well-qualified nominee?

Answer: 30 years of strict constructionist rule

I'd say it's a gamble worth taking.

Oh, it might not work, we shouldn't try. I'm skeered.

Answer: the nominee is rejected.

Either way, it's a win. If we get the votes in the Senate, we get a good Associate Justice on the court; if we don't get the votes, the base is fired up for '06.

"Answer: the nominee is rejected."

And that scares me. makes you wonder why Bush nominated Miers in the first place.

Answer: the nominee is rejected.

And? They can't reject every nominee he sends up there. As long as we get conservative, originalist judges up there, we're in good shape. I don't care how many they shoot down along the way. This is a fight the Dems and RINOs will NOT win in the court of public opinion.

And it's a highly qualified nominee? We raise h*ck, in unison, and break through the MSM blackout... we highlight to the American people how obstructive the dems are, how anti-America they are, putting politics before the country.
