ME: I'd say the people punished are anyone who benefits from a conservative judiciary, because Daschle now has the power to tie all his nominees up and he'll do that for another 2 years if the GOP doesn't get the Senate back.

I'd say no one benefits from a conservative judiciary because the conservatives have no more respect for our Constitution than the leftists. They treat personal freedom with the same contempt that leftists treat economic freedom.

What's an example of a conservative decision which violates the Constitution? I assume you know a great deal about the Constitution?

The Supreme Court voted 5-4 a couple of years ago that the Boy Scouts of America can't be forced to make homosexuals scout leaders. The 4 conservatives all were in the majority side. The four liberals were in the minority. The Boy Scouts won because the swing vote, O'Connor voted with them. So I take it you think that they should have been compelled to make homosexuals Scout Leaders, since this wasn't an economic issue. If dingbats like you had their way it would have gone the other way, since the conservatives who were all appointed by Republican Presidents wouldn't have been there.
