As for the soon-to-be-outraged Democrats? Well, is there really any doubt that the party that invented "Borking" and has beaten the process down to the disgraceful low-point we now have would "go nuclear" if the shoes were on the other feet? Please.... OF COURSE they would.
The single most important part of this essay...
The Democrats will not hesitate to use any method to advance this agenda, and Republicans refusing to use a legitimate method is surely not going to make them change their mind.
If anything, the Republicans' so far refusal to use such methods only encourages the Left, secure in the knowledge we will play nice while they go for the throat.

Bush has an unprecedented four-year window to shape the courts for decades to come. He and the Republicans cannot play political games. The opportunity absolutely must not be squandered.
