Ah so your theory is that the Republicans in the Senate will be able to successfully stonewall her nomination like the Dems - with the backing of the media- do ours. So the media will back them up in it like they are backing the Dems in their stonewall?

Well, that's interesting.
Reminds me of the claim that Hillary will have to face the tough questioning of the New York media in her Senate run.

Personally I think the media will tear apart anyone who obstructs Hillary's nomination.
With that in mine, I think Hillary might not only get the Chief Justice positition for life, but have the pleasure of seeing Senators who opposed her voted out of office.

Oh the pleasures we'll get from a Democrat president- especially one who has to make a deal with Hillary to win.

My "theory"--you say? It is not a theory. But your response insults the Republicans in the Senate, even more than I have lately. They do not need the backing of the media to play hardball. Indeed, playing hardball, in a way that forces the media to cover them, is the one way to fight the effect of the media bias. Your over concern for the media bias makes you unable to see important aspects of the battle.

Yes the media is important. It is a factor we must consider in pursuing what is right; that is we have to constantly be thinking in ways to confound the Leftists in the media. That bias is not a reason to compromise our principles, just a reason to take appropriate measures. One of the gravest failures of the President is his failure to use the "bully pulpit" to offset the media.
