Remember the usual rules of thumb... Threats are usually counterproductive when writing to elected representatives. Let's be polite but firm, and not let our passions throw this opportunity away. Let the Dims get nutty and push hard.
Specter thumbed his nose at the administration and party, stating that he would reject any extremist (ie, original construction) judges. This was after they endorsed him and saved his committee membership. I think someone needs to pitch the usual rules of thumb.
The GOP should quit endorsing people like him and Chafee and boot them from the Judicial committee. To do otherwise would be blatantly irresponsible.
BTW - I will be polite but crystal clear with the Senator. I plan on protesting anyone that opposes the nomination.
Yes...bumped for fire and effect! Write, write, write. Yes, we are. Win with class.
