I suspect she's a sacrificial candidate and she knows it. She's agreed to be beated to death in Senate hearings, after which Dems will proclaim victory. Bush then nominates a true constitutionalist, and an exhausted Senate Dem club doesn't have the energy or will to oppose him/her.
You've got to be kidding! She will be easily confirmed. The Demos will go along with this. Bush is a politician and knows what he is doing (though it has nothing to do with what you and I want).
That is similar to the load of fertilizer we bought with BCRA. Remember the certain veto? The certain SCOTUS rejection? Ah, but fantasies, phantoms of our hopeful imaginations.

Since the only people who want that to happen are conservatives ... it will never happen.
I bet she has a very easy nomination, the Dems secretly smiling that the conservatives got screwed again and knowing that it could have been a lot worse for them.

I think you may be dreaming. The Dems never give up.
I don't buy it. People don't lose energy when they win.
