Ruth Ginsburg, late of the ACLU, is one that received his YES vote in the Senate to confirm.

Look, I dislike McCain as much as the next guy - but this is bogus.

The Ginsburg vote was taken back when the President's choice was almost always approved, as long as the applicant was qualified on paper. This was before the Dems started their eternal scorched-earth Judiciary hearings in the Senate. It seems like an eternity ago, I know.

You may hate Buzzy Ginsburg, but this is the way it is supposed to work. Bill Clinton won the election. She was qualified. He picked her. The way to not have her, was to win the Presidential election. McCain's vote to confirm her is the way it is supposed to work - the bloodbath should take place in the Presidential election, not in the Judiciary hearings.

You want to blame someone, blame me - I voted for Perot, and helped make the fiasco of the Clinton years possible.

Are you repenting and promising never to do it again?

The Pubbies were playing nice according to the traditional thought that the president gets to pick the judiciary that he wants, and the senate approves only on qualifications, not on ideology, because that’s what the presidential election was about.

The left, though, doesn’t play by “rules” or “traditions” when those rules don’t give them the results that they want. And they know that the only way they’ve gotten their ideology set into law is through the judiciary, so they were willing to do anything to keep control of that branch, even though they lost the presidential election twice.

No doc, it is called doing your due diligence and research and then looking at the actions of the man while in office. - take a pill.

> McCain's vote to confirm her is the way it is supposed to work

LOL! Then why have the fake vote at all?!?

Look, the way that McCain would have garnered my respect on this issue would have been for him to stand up in the Senate and say

“I will not vote for this lady to be seated on the bench, and these are my reasons!”

Like Jesse Helms did

Your concept is outright ... never mind. no disrespect intended

Good post. I would only add that the left set out to utterly destroy a great jurist, Robert Bork years before the Clinton appointees.

Just as the rats don't acknowledge that we are at war with Islam, the pubbies don't accept that the rats declared war on them decades ago.
