I think we have enough Senators to force a vote and go nuclear if needed. My Senator Coburn had enough nerve to challenge the good old boy pork system in the Senate joined by Senators like George Allen. If they did that, there is no stopping them and all of us from getting solidly behind a nomination and letting all of our Senators know we expect their support.
Election coming up next year and we can win this one if we all work together and flood those wavering Republican Senators on supporting a good conservative nomination. I have commented very little waiting for hearings but now that she has withdrawn, this nomination didn't make sense to me which is why I had very little to say.
I was actually wondering why I hadn't seen you around. You're normally solidly behind Bush. Good for you for listening to your gut!! :) (No, I'm not being sarcastic - we need more people to realize it's not in this COUNTRY'S best interest to rally behind bad decisions - even if they are made by OUR President.)
