I am not a Democrat, and YOU are out of line by alluding that I am one (Your "You democrats ... " comment was directed AT ME.)

I did point out that Fortas was already on the SCOTUS, and provided a link.

I never asserted that there is a parallel between Fortas unethical behvior and Estrada.

I am not trying to change any history, and I challenge you to point out anyplace I did -- I do make mistakes, and will correct my mistatements of fact.

As for Fortas, you are partly right, but incomplete. He was placed on SCOTUS by an up-down vote, and was denied elevation to CJ due to a Senate filibuster -- President Johnson capitulated. And as I said before, the present situation is completely different in that President Bush did not capitulate when faced with a Senate filibuster. And here we are.

Please be more careful with your accusations.

And you please be more careful when you try to compare apples to oranges(i.e Fortas versus Estrada).
