Methinks you go too far including Rush, Brownback, and Sowell.

Rush said Wednesday "I am opposed to this nomination."
"Rush said Wednesday 'I am opposed to this nomination.'"
Sorry 'bout that--excuse me for including Rush in MY post, then.
Brownback and Sowell, however, seem to be on the fence--especially since both sides on this thread include Sowell in their camp.
It would be a good idea if both sides would realize that, while having allies is a good thing, utilizing logical argument to convince your opponent of the righteousness of your cause (instead of trading illogical comments like insults and ally lists) is better.
