I saw that yesterday. Remind me again, how many republicans we had in the Senate when Roberts was confirmed?

Less than 60 wasn't it?

Did you think we'd have gotten Janice Rogers Brown on the court?

'President George W. Bush nominated her to her current position on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2003. However, her nomination was stalled in the U.S. Senate for almost two years because of Democratic opposition. She began serving as a federal appellate court judge on June 8, 2005.'

Ann's very talented, but sometimes she tends to spew invective while ignoring the facts on the Ground.

At that time and place we were LUCKY to get Alito, for Sandra Dee.

I would have dared them to filibuster a SCOTUS nom.

That wasn't luck. That was the result of an uprising. An uprising against Bush. And it showed that the Dems couldn't get 41 for a filibuster on a SCOTUS judge. That's the proof.

Typical GOP, even with a majority they don't know how to use it. The Dems have no such problem.

Actually Janice Rogers Brown is a fantasy pic. Really any established conservative would have done from Alice Batchelder (6th Circuit) to J. Michael Luttig.
