The GOP leadership never did this when Clinton appointed judges to the federal bench, and that was when the Republicans actually controlled the Senate! Do the Democrats truly believe in their heart of hearts that we wanted Ruth Bader-Ginsberg to be on the Supreme Court??

You raise a very good point. While I believe Orrin Hatch has been outstanding thus far vis a vis the Estrada nomination, he has made comments about how fair he was to the dems in confirming so many of Clinton's judges, because he stopped some of his fellow Republicans from fighting ones they vehemently opposed. All I could think of was how often the rats rolled him and thereby got some TRULY activist judges confirmed to the federal bench, and how Hatch shouldn't be bragging about it, because his own decency, sense of fairness and perceived WEAKNESS was used against him. The Senator from Utah no doubt expected "fairness" for a Republican President from his "good friends" on the other side of the aisle.

Now the dims are lying about the Clinton nominee Paez,
He went to bat to calm his fellow R's down, said it wasn,t
right for him not to have a vote. Now they are spitting in his face. They will stop at nothing, and have no scruples !!
