We shouldn't hit the libs too hard here; when a leftist President nominates pro-abortion, anti-family, anti-2nd amendment judges I might want them filibustered too.

And it will be just as wrong then as it is now.

Maybe, but such a nominee would not only be antithetical to what I (and most conservatives) believe on individual issues, but more importantly than that would disagree fundamentally on the purpose of the law. I believe the purpose of the law is to defend Constitutional liberties and secure the Republic. Leftists like Justice Ginsburg would probably agree with the above, but would add that they see the law as a tool to enact nonviolent social revolution, and overthrow the existing moral and cultural order.

So I disagree with that fundamentally, just as the left disagrees with Alito's originalism because it is not likely to read into the Constitution the most cherished aspects of their social revolution.

Though I too get angry that the left has thoroughly politicized the nomination process, the fact is that they are just being consistent with their stated beliefs. Their is really nothing hypocritical about it. I disagree with their fundamental worldview more than I do their tactics.
