Nope. Revisionist History. You were excoriated for demanding CERTAINTY. That is an absurd notion. NOTHING in life is certain. Demanding the FACTS is NOT any way similar to demanding certainity.
What they Miers people keep telling you, which you just tuned out, was that is what we have Senate HEARINGS for. However the Lynch Miers crowd wasn't intrested in facts, they were only intrested in "paying Bush back for betraying us". Now, just like the Democrats, they are trying to rewrite an inconvient History to suit their current emotional whimsy.
Did you see the veins bulge on Dean's face when he was ranting that the REPUBLICANS are DARING to ask for an up or down vote for Alito...
when they wouldn't let Miers have one! I KNEW the dems would use it against the Republicans...I warned the anti-anti-Miers crowd, that if the Republicans didn't at least give her an up or down vote...which has been their "talking point" against the dems actions...
THEY would regret it. BUT, in fairness, technically, Miers withdrew her nomination..thus, sparing the Republican Senators the embarrassment of having to go through a hearing when their minds are already made up.
However, it is my contention that NO ONE came out of this looking good...
Excellent post, says it all. Republicans are fair minded people and give even dems the benefit of the doubt. I don't think if someone steps in Crap the rest of us should have to clean it up , when we were savvy enough to walk around it.
