Too bad the Republicans did not have the guts to Bork each and every Clintler appointee.

Sigh. It's not a question of "guts," but one of precedent and conducting the work of the senate with civility and fairness that kept raw, bitter partisanship unders some degree of control. There is a reason for old-fashioned "gentlemen's agreements." Republicans — and, quite frankly, most Democrats prior to the Bork nomination — worked within time-honored Senate precedent. The Democrats of today do not. To them, power is all. Republicans of today are like a disciplined boxer observing Marquis of Queensbury rules while fighting for their lives against the most vicious of street thugs. It isn't a lack of courage, but a lack of understanding of the enemy that is the problem for Republicans.

The Repulsiv-cans that hold themselves out as leaders in the Senate don't have a set of balls among them. Lott is a smooth-haired twit and Hatch is equally worthless. Pretty much a bunch of damned weaklings, if you asked me.
