They would have been filibustered. Then there would have been a long, drawn-out fight over whether we could break or get around the filibuster. This would take about a year, with zero promise that we could win. I think Hagel, Chaffee, Snowe, Collins, and probably 1-2 others would have bolted, giving Bush a big loss.

Worse, it would drain a full year out of any other issues or agendas. Coulter is wrong. She needs to read about George Washington and his strategy for beating the British . . . and his own back-biting generals.

You really think the Democrats would fillibuster the first black woman (and single mom) nominated to the court?

They'd threaten, but no way would they do it - not with the spike in the black vote for Bush in 2004. They remember that, and "the trends is your friend".
