“I have to thank her for the reminder of why we need to retake and hold the senate.”
If you are counting on a Republican Senate, remember Ginsberg was confirmed by a 96 to 3 vote. The three no votes were Jessie Helms (NC), Don Nickles (OK) and Bob Smith (NH). None of them are currently serving in the Senate. The rest of the Republicans voted for Ginsberg, despite her ultraliberal credentials and refusal to answer questions during confirmation.
Do you really believe McCain, Hatch, Graham, Collins, Alexander, Murkowski, and a few other RINO’s will stand tall and incur the press firestorm they will incur from opposing an Obama Supreme Court nominee no matter how radical that nominee may be?
Do you really believe President Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, or Mitt Romney will appoint strong conservatives to the court? More likely we’ll see nominees from them in the mold of Earl Warren, John Paul Stevens, Harry Blackman, Sandra Day O’Conner, David Souter, Harriet Myers, and John Roberts all appointed by Republican presidents.
Exactly.
