Both those Senators have voted solidly for the President's nominees in the Judiciary Committee. I see no reason to doubt that will continue. I also expect their votes for the nominees on the floor, and to end any filibuster on the floor.

I expect the Byrd/Constitutional Option to come up again, when the Democrats vilify and lie about another nominee down the road, like they did to Priscilla Owen and Janice Brown. ALL Senators, but especially these two, require additional pressure from the home folks to cast EVERY vote, including the Option, in favor of judges who believe in following the law.

Wish I could be optimistic, but I just haven't been able to sell myself that bridge ....

Another Freeper wrote this comment earlier, but it fits me too. I was scolded by other freepers yesterday for not recognizing how great this all actually is. Perhaps there are some short-term benefits but our US Constitution has been degraded yet again, FGS! With possibly more hits to come.

Visions of tar and feathers....!
