Chuckie Schroomer confirms yet again that the 'RATS have totally and permanently trashed all "bi-partisan" traditions of Congress, such as the long-standing presumption in favor of a President's nominees so long as they are well-qualified in objective professional terms. Now the 'RATS see everything through the lens of ideological warfare, and it does not matter how many competent judges or justices or UN Ambassadors a Republican president may nominate, these 'RATS will judge them only in relation to subservience to a left/liberal agenda.
To think of all the Republicans who blithely voted for Ginsburg and Breyer out of respect for Senate traditions..... from now on it is political warfare all the way!!
They did the right thing.....before Bush II, out of hundreds of SCOTUS nominees in 220 years only a couple have been rejected by the Senate.....Presidents deserved fair treatment of their choices.
There isn't a problem here...judicial appointments are the one area where power inherently lies with the President, not the Senior Senator from New York.
Bush might not get anything else done, but Alito/Roberts like judges should squeak through.
