    If the future holds a Dem president and a Rep controlled Senate, I want to see the Reps refuse to confirm ANY nominee that president ever needs to send before the Senate. Don't fillibuster, simply vote down EVERY Dem nomine! We could/ should/ would NEED to simply halt the system in its tracks, right then and there. But what of vacancies on the Court going unfilled? Unfilled with what we know would be socialists. Fine with me.
    If this were to develop and the Reps AGAIN took a spineless give 'em what they want approach - after this - they would forever lose my vote, and tesn of thousands of others. They would deserve it. This is not boys at the club exchanging logrolling promises any more. The Dems have made this bed, so let them suffocate in it!

    FIrst president I ever voted for as well. I proudly voted for him again in '84. He served during my very formative years of college and young adulthood. I was never more proud of my country than during his years in office. There was something very special and unique about Ronald Reagan that can not be easily turned into words; certainly not words that properly describe the feelings he developed in we Americans. I cried the day he left office. I cried the day he passed. And yet those tears were not only tears of sadness, but tears of pride. Pride in knowing I saw the greatest, and pride in knowing I played a part in his service to our country. We are blessed with memories and feel touched by the angels that brought you to us in our time of dark need. We will forever hold you closest to our hearts, our souls, our minds, and our sacred freedoms. God Bless Ronald Reagan.
