well, you SHOULD care. there may be a day when the Rats have a Senate majority and Hillary Clinton is doing the appointing.

Yes, and when THAT happens the Dems will show no hesitation in proceding with the "nuclear" argument. I choose not to worry about what is a foregone conclusion if they have power. If WE choose not to do this, it would be foolish to think the Dems would return that courtesy.

It would be folly to assume that a democrat-controlled senate wouldn't make the same rules change if a Republican minority tried to block judicial appointments the way the democrats are currently doing. We have to stop playing nice guy with these thugs.
