Truly. Republicans are so timid...afraid...freaked out about this huge issue. Their performance to date has been a disgrace. The best way to tackle a tough issue is head on. Better 4 years late than never. Get on with it and let the chips fall where they may.

The myth is that it is just republicans who want judges that follow the constitution, they are lieing to us.

If you don't believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, just say so, John McCain !

Thought I'd pour a little rain on the judicial "nuclear option" parade. Sure I'll get tons of debris thrown at me for this, but has anyone considered that the dems would be able to ram all the worst liberal judges through next time they control the Senate?

I agree with bringing up the judges for votes, want conservative judges, but I never see this risk discussed. I'm guessing it's the main reason republicans are reluctant to change the rule.

I can shoot down my own point because I don't trust the dems and they would probably change the rule themselves, and the republicans never block their nominees anyway. But still the turnabout risk is a real consideration.
