What are YOU willing to lose tomorrow in the name of "principle"? The House and the Senate? The White House? Will you allow Hillary, or John Edwards, or Gore, or Lieberman, or Gephardt to pick the Supreme Court justices?
That's what it comes down to. Bush will appoint people like Thomas and Scalia. A GOP Senate will CONFIRM people like Thomas and Scalia. Democrats in thw White Hopuse and running the Senate won't.
Any questions?
Nothing major. I refuse to sell my soul. It's not for sale.
