Great, we’d decided that we’d settle for a moral victory instead of a real one.

She’s going to be confirmed and we are doomed.

Moral or otherwise, we’ll just have another appointee with the same “racial” rose colored glasses that will be nominated.

It should be 40 no votes, not 20.

She’s not replacing Thomas, Scalia, Roberts or Alito. She’s certainly not replacing Kennedy. The decisions of the court probably won’t be affected too much. They don’t have the numbers to avoid confirmation so it’s a moot point.

What is irritating is that the GOP is still playing games. In case they missed it, your “base” hates you right now. Scheming how many votes will bring you applause or temper our attitudes about you only makes it worse. Hispanics that only care about race won’t think better of you for 20 votes against anymore than they would think well of you if all 40 were in favor. Just as their opinions of McCain were not all warm and fuzzy despite leading a charge for amnesty.

Do the right thing and vote her down en masse because she is not qualified. That would be the right thing to do. If the GOP had any remaining principles that is what would happen.
