Judging by the spending, lack of common sense on immigration, and Mr. Stevens' blockage of the bill authorizing a searchable database of government spending programs......I don't really see where a Democratic Senate would be much different than what we have now.

Go ahead and let Ginsberg retire, and just don't nominate anyone to fill the position or have a filibuster, thus diluting the liberals even worse on the SC!

The Senate needs a housecleaning worse than my work shop.

Yep. I can see a Democrat Senate approving Alito and Roberts. And it sure would be fun to watch the Senate investigate every action of the White House and the War on Terror. It doesn't matter what they found. It is all that would be on the news every day. The end result could be decades of being in the minority. And if that happens, you can kiss goodbye any chance at getting control of the borders.

And that is a brilliant plan on how to handle a potential Ginsberg resignation. Just don't fill the spot. Do not take advantage of having a Republican president who has a good record of appointing conservative judges. Leave it open so Hillary (or whoever) can fill it in 2008. Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant.

In fairness, I think we are probably coming at this from different places. I spent 40 years watching the country, controlled by the Democrats, slide farther and farther to the left. I know well the powerlessness of being in the minority. People who have come of age since the Republicans have been in power tend to get disgusted when things don't move in the direction they want as fast as they want them to so they say there is no difference between the parties. They think that having Republicans in power is the natural order of things. It is not.

The facts of the matter are that you and I are more conservative than most people. Most people will never be comfortable with the positions you and I are comfortable with. Just accept that. We can start to move them back to the right...but only if we maintain power. And we will not maintain power by electing Democrats.
