I think people are making too much of this. Plenty of Supreme Court nominees have had to withdraw or been defeated because of lack of support within the President's party.

Yes, there's been too much made of it. It appears that most of the whining is about her lack of ivy league pedigree, that she's single, and a recently converted Catholic. :O

This is a great point. Everyone seems to be acting like this is the absolute first time for this kind of heresy. You ought to post a thread naming the troubled nominees, and their final withdrawals or defeats. A lotta short memories.
