My Lettor to the editor (I had to cut it down to less than 200 words or it will be cut for me:

Just in case anyone thought the Democrats have always supported the idea of holding up judicial nominees that one may deem "extreme" or "not qualified", I present the record. Seems their hypocrisy knows no end.

* Joseph Biden (D-DE) "everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a … vote on the floor."

* Carl Levin (D-MI) "If a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate is prepared to vote to confirm the President's appointment, that vote should occur."

* Edward Kennedy (D-MA) "If our … colleagues don't like them, vote against them. But give them a vote."

* Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) "Let's bring their nominations up, debate them if necessary, and vote them up or down."

* Tom Daschle (D-SD) "I find it simply baffling that a Senator would vote against even voting on a judicial nomination."

* Patrick Leahy (D-VT) "I have stated over and over again … that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported."

* Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) The filibuster "has unfortunately become a commonplace tactic to thwart the will of the majority."

Edward Kennedy (D-MA) "If our … colleagues don't like them, vote against them. But give them a vote."

The submariner was drunk when he said that.
