You know, there is a strategy here to be used. Put out the name of someone whom the 'Rats positively HATE and would go into convulsions over and after they have gone nuts all over the place, withdraw that name and substitute a good solid conservative with a less recognizeable name, making it harder to bork them.

Good strategy! Maybe that's why Gonzalez's name was floated -- so that conservatives could immediately kill it!

The best way to pursue this type of strategy, would be to renominate Estrada and more like him to the lower courts, as well as bring Saad and others like him up to a vote ASAP.

It is time to go "all in" Texas Hold em style. Let the gang of 14 choke on "extreme circumstances." IMHO, this is the best way move forward.
