Why don't you think we will get the nominee we want? The Dems can whine and moan about how extreme the candidate is and how bad they would be but they can't filibuster the nominee.

We have the majority and the Senate has only advise and consent. President Bush nominates a judge. The Senate makes lots of noise (OK, the Dems make lots of noise), debate ensues and finally a vote is held. As much as the Dems have been a solid block in their voting, they still don't have the numbers to block a nominee.

ABSOLUTELY NO reason why the SCOTUS opening will not be filled. RINO's listen up.

CAVEAT: Freepers, don't get your hopes too high about getting a conservative appointed to SCOTUS during Bush's administration. A word to the wise...
