.......this is not as bad as it sounds in the long run....all those filibusters soak up a lot of Liberal energy....W still has another 6 years to keep appointing judges who understand the Constitiution....we'll eventually wear the Libs down....
BTW the first job my daughter had out of law school was at the 11th Circuit Court....it was fairly liberal, but even those Judges used to make jokes about the 9th....they were a laughing stock among their peers....
