I don't understand the folks here who rip Hugh as a RINO. He's been a great advocate of everything right and simply stood behind the Miers nomination UNTIL hearings could be held.

He's done a tremendous job holding the GOP Senators' proverbial feet to the fire, especially on this issue.

"JT: That's...there's been some discussion about that, frankly, Hugh, and I've been...and even suggested that that might be something we should do, just to get people on the record. Now maybe that sends a mixed signal or a mixed message, based on the vote yesterday, but I do think that people really underestimated, miscalculated the effect that this would have on the American people. And again, this is the trap you fall into when you start paying attention to public opinion polls and the leftist media, because there is absolutely no reason we should have taken that step yesterday. And I think people now realize it. So you may see something along the lines of what you're suggesting. That at least is being discussed and kicked around right now."

How I wish Thune was the Leader BUMP!
