I sure hope that the GoP metes out as much resistance on judges as the Dems did, if Hillary gets elected.

Don't hold your breath. Republicans believe in the Constitution, Democrats don't.

The GOP will fold, surrender, and grovel before any confrontation.
Have we not learned the hard way that the dead and the virtual
perform their function better than the GOP.

They did during the last year of the Clinton administration. But they weren't as blatant about it, nor did they come out and say they wouldn't confirm a Supreme Court justice.

In any case, President Bush can always recess appoint judges if necessary. If a Republican wins in 2008 then they can be renominated.

They gave Ruth “Buzzy” Ginsberg a pass. I don’t see anything changing with our Senatewimps.

Ha ha, ya think????

Fearless prediction (and you read it here first):
If the Pubbies _do_ put up resistance to Hillary's court picks, watch the 'rats roll out "the nuclear option", and make it stick.

With one "modification":
Any 'rat imposition of The Nuclear Option in the Senate will self-expire at the end of the current Senate term, so it could never be used by a _Republican_ Senate.
