There's a simple way to handle this.. You pick a person to be Bork'ed. The RINOs get their feed for the year, the RATs can show what champions they are for the cause, then you toss someone else in and even if they are a clone of the first, they are approved, likely with overwhelming numbers.

Pick people with obvious, open opinions. You don't have to play the dig for everything game because the juicy parts are out in the open. Will this person overturn Roe? Probably. They get attacked for it, the person shrugs and notes that that is their opinion.

These stealth candidates are the ones that require finding kindergarten teachers and other arcane journalistic tea leaf readings.

But that takes someone who wants to expose their entire life to inspection and nit picking by the likes of Teddy Kennedy, with no gain - No job in the end, and forever known as a court reject.

Pretty big request.

It is great how you both have an idea to trash the life work of someone for the sake of purity of "your opinion".

Could I suggest that if you want to do this picking of judges try getting elected President. If people who are republican are watching Will,Kristol and Frum trash a good person then the member of any profession they will know that taking a post in the Bush administration is not worth the price - you two posters would exact.
