On the bright side, we were already outnumbered on the court before Scalia's death. The only solid conservatives were Scalia, Thomas and Alito. This will make it tougher to ever get a conservative majority.

The GOP needs to really stand firm on this. We've let the left bully us into picking losers like Souter and Roberts because they block hardline conservatives while we let Kagan and Sotomayor sail through.

my take is on post 35. a deal will be struck and we lose.
