Uh - not when you're pitching in the big leagues. Appeals courts are not even on the public radar. This would be a frontpage bloodbath. They would step much more carefully, in my estimation.

You're living in a dream world. This democrat party is completely beholden to the kook left. Crap, 22 of them voted against Roberts who is probably one of the most qualified nominees to ever come before the senate. Also, I would even go so far as to say that even if she got and up or down vote, she would not have been confirmed. Too many squishy's and RINO's in the Senate.

I've said it before, a mid-term election and an insatiable taste for pork is incentive enough for a party-line vote.

Again, it's rather funny that FReepers should naturally support the president no matter what, but not Republican senators.
