Do you really want a person on the court who is acceptable to the democrats? That's the case in a nutshell of why I can barely support the R.P. any longer. They are always willing to moderate 'the plan' to get it through. And generally that 'plan' winds up being a near mirror of democrat policy.

Simply unacceptable! There damn well should be a fight. That's how wars are won, and we're fighting for the existance of this nation in adherence to what the founding fathers vision was.

Or lost.

My scenario would be for JRB to be nominated, the 'Rats to fight to the death and filibuster, Frist calls a vote on the "nucular" option, the vote ties 50-50, and Cheney casts the tiebreaking vote while looking at Leaky Leahy and mouthing another "FU" to him /fantasy off

This has nothing to do with what is acceptable to the 'Rats. It's a question of whether or not a nominee gets one of the following:

50 votes without a filibuster

60 votes with a filibuster

50 votes to go "nucular" with a filibuster

Without one of those three, there is no confirmation.
