I might agree with your sentiments if they don't try turning the parliamentary trick on the RINOs, but until then I'll reserve judgment. The RINOs sold us out because the GOP has been dancing. If they skip this chance to play hardball, I'm through with them. I voted for Bush and Republicans to get a national defense that mattered and a conservative bench. I don't have the patience to hold Republicans feet to the fire for everything else they screw up, but they will stand up for a conservative judicial nominees or be booted out, as far as I'm concerned. There is no point to having RINOs in the party if they aren't with us on the most crucial issue in government, ending the judicial activists' reign of terror. And I won't back a 'conservative' party that doesn't care about standing up for the constitution 100%, especially when they have the soapbox to themselves as they do now.
The RNC fundraising letters have been piling up waiting on this vote, they will now continue to gather dust.

I understand your anger but implore you to reconsider. The fight to win inside the Republican party is still the best chance, strategically, even if we fail on this one. (see my tag line for insight into Republican Senatorial timidity)
Our nation and the Free World are still under attack by agents of influence put in place in the Cold War, now operated by Putin and his KGB colleagues. They control the Democratic party, but so far have only penetrated slightly into the Republicans. That slight pentration was enough to win this time. But we can still save the party.
