Someone mentioned to me that it was 97. They seemed to be pretty sure about it, but I didn’t check it out.

You may be right with regard to Souter, I do know that can be the case sometimes. You refer up someone who looked good on paper and then they go south. I don’t believe Ginsberg was an unknown. Besides, it’s these Senators jobs to know who they are voting for and not just wave their hand while the justice passes by.

Those three Republicans spent the time to figure it out. Why didn’t John? Are they wrong to have not voted for her then? Is John exhonerated?

I hear what you are saying, but this perplexes me. We hold John out to be our last hope with regard to SCOTUS appointments, but it’s unfair to mention that he voted to affirm the three worst one’s on the court today.

This isn’t a put-down of you personally, but where are we going with this if nothing anyone does anymore, is worthy of holding them accountable?

Couldn’t we basicly give Ted Kennedy absolution for everything he’s done in the past if we’re going to do it for our fair haired guy?

That idea troubles me. If our guy can do no wrong, how can we possibly trash others for doing wrong?

I personally hate the idea of Kennedy supporting Ginsberg, but how can I trash him for it if I’m going to wink and nod at my own guy for doing it?

Just venting... once again nothing personal intended.
