However, if there isn't some compromise by all parties, it is possible that no one will be confirmed, and this selection will be left to the follow-on administration.

Which is exactly what the Democrats want. So why would they compromise?

I was talking about compromise among the Republicans & conservatives. The excerpt I copied from the post I comment on was about some factions of conservatism being as hateful toward Pres. Bush as the radical liberals are.

If these people (Bush hating conservatives) don't ease up, the nation will get no supreme court justice worth having.
