From the article: "More dramatically than any confirmation battle in memory, the Pickering case demonstrates that liberals will seemingly say anything—and tarnish even the most sterling character—to keep control of the nation’s courts".

I wouldn't say it was more dramatic than any in memory; Clarence Thomas's nomination hearings come to mind, but the left did seem to pull out all the stops to keep this man off the bench. There are some truly 'damning to the left' quotes in the article, especially that of Nan Aron who says that the judiciary is important to the left because it will do for them what they can't get done in the legislature.

This is why, warts and all, I'd rather have the GOP in charge at the White House, and in Congress, to keep Nan Aron, Ralph Neas, and their ilk, at bay.
