Republicans just dont do that, despite the horrible treatment our nominees got. Even after Bork and Thomas, Republicans still voted overwhelmingly for Ginsberg and Breyer because they were qualified. That is the ultimate prize of winning the White House. I am not for going against SC nominees, though I should be. Republicans just dont do that, despite the horrible treatment our nominees got.

Roberts and Alito. Bush, according to my reading, has also appointed a majority of federal judges now sitting. He appointed mostly younger judges so they could dominate the judicial scene for a long time. Roberts and Alito are both young. The toughest job for Obama and the Dems will be dealing with a judicial system packed with advocates for the powerful. If and when an opening on the Supreme bench occurs....stonewalling by GOP'ers will not be received well by voters. Not after such a big progressive win. DF's "blue Republicans" are what are called moderate Republicans. Is that what the GOP wants now? A completely fanatical party with no moderates at all?

People like Specter, Collins and Snowe could be easy pickings by Democrats. That is why Democrats are too wrapped up in getting 60 votes - its just a symbolic number. If you have 59 senators and one Republican who always votes for you, its just like having 60. what I mean at the end there is that Democrats would likely be able to block any Republican filibsuter if we arent committed to it.
