But Louise Bogard, legal director for the Alliance for Justice — one of the groups that opposed the nominations of Charles Pickering and Estrada — said the fight over Estrada has strengthened the Democrats' resolve to block the promotions of Charles Pickering and other conservative judges.

That's it! Too much time is being wasted on these judicial nominations and the "people's business" is not being attended to. Send VP Cheney to the Senate and let him use his constitutional right to force a vote on the floor of the Senate.

Political suicide? Opening of Padora's box? Who the F cares! Once the war starts and Iraq is liberated, no one will care!

Forget Pickering; he's 66 years old and will retire in a few years, anyway. Republicans ought to find someone much younger. Unfortunately, they seem more interested in playing games than in packing the courts with conservatives. They want to be able to tell conservative activists, "The Democrats are blocking Bush's nominees!" Meanwhile, Clinton's judges are criminalizing the Pledge of Allegiance, shredding the Second Amendment, and expanding illegal aliens' rights.

Bogard: the fight over Estrada has strengthened the Democrats' resolve to block the promotions of Charles Pickering and other conservative judges.

Democrats are experts at making up excuses for their bad behavior. I'm sure they were strongly resolved to block the nominations in the first place.

Democrats are "phony if-onlies."

• If only there weren't a fight over Estrada, we wouldn't resolve to oppose other conservatives.
• If only Estrada's memos were released we would vote on him.
• If only Estrada were a mainstream conservative we'd vote for him.
