The GOP will fold like a cheap lawn chair when it matters: They always do.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Specter, Collins and Snowe will bend over and grab their ankles when the time comes.

And I am sure that the Democrats will never change the rules to require only a majority approval.

There are three Democrats flying under Republican colors in the Senate that will make all these things relatively easy for the Party nominees.

And where is the GOP going to find this backbone it’s never had?
To: txnativegop
Collins and Snowe did not bend over, they got hard cold cash of $800 million for their votes.
While it's good for their home pockets, to hell with the rest.

The court will definitely be more conservative while it is shorthanded.

Here and now, regarding htese three, they are no longer to be called RINO’s These three are hence forth NRR’s. Not Really Republicans.
The women are really Democrats who had to act like the Republicans to get in the Country Club.

From the article . . .
Because courts have so much power to shape our lives...
So true and so wrong; not what the founding fathers intended. The courts, almost from day one back in 1789, started over-stepping their bounds, and should have been put in their place then (or in jail).
We have paid for allowing judicial activism ever since. It is time to rein in these pseudo-king tyrants.

Did you notice the source at the bottom?: L A Times
That explains this nonsense: “He[Obama]has shown himself inclined toward moderation, and that probably will extend to his judicial nominations.”
Moderation ?!?!?!?! Yeah right.
To: txnativegop
For 4 years?
Seriously though, the Republicans can’t prevent a recess appointment like the Democrats have done, but they can prevent a permanent appointment.
