We are not talking about throwing him out of the Senate, although that is tempting. We are talking about him being chairman of the judiciary committee. We need someone there totally in sync with the president. That is certainly not Magic Bullet Specter.
I know. (The time to toss him from the senate is past.) What I am saying is, since we cannot toss him -- he gets a confirmation vote and has a right to vote his conscience -- then we might as well keep him as agreeable as possible. He has said he will put them through committee and I think he is saying he is against the filibusters. I think that is enough. He does have a decent record on the matter. He was pretty good at those ridiculous Anita Hill hearings and Thomas is a great conservative.
