This time Senate Dems have changed the rules. That idiot Ginsburg was confirmed under Clinton with only three dissenting votes and one of those was Jesse Helms. In the opinion of many her record is further left than Alito's is right. Yet the GOP passed on making her confirmation a fight.
That won't happen again. If there's a President Hillary and she has an opening on the court to fill it's gonna be a great fight. Next time we might get to filibuster.
Here's how Benedick Durbin spun it on FoxNews/Cavuto about 1/2 an hour ago...Ginsberg sailed through because Orrin Hatch conferred with Clinton & said they wouldn't opposed her...but, did Pres. Bush consult with us? Noooooo!
I hope that we win in 2008, but if we don't I hope that the Republicans do not politicize the process. Our party, warts and all, is fighting for good. Let's not stoop to their level.
