Its the same old crap from Breyer and his twin Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg. Could someone tell me WHY the Republicans didn't filibuster these two world federalist liberals appointed by clinton? -- instead I remember even conservatives in the Senate falling over each other in praising them

Because at the time of their appointments, there was a 200 year precedent in the Senate not to filabuster judicial nominations, that precedent was broken by Dashole in 2002.

Oh and the demos also had the majority in the Senate at the time.

the Republicans have the majority in the Senate this time, but you'd never know it.
