I wanted him to last at least until we had a better chance to get a better candidate with more GOP Senators in 2011. Maybe the GOP will have the balls to filibuster until then.

Doing a nine month filibuster is impossible, not ballsy.

The nominee will be confirmed before the fall session of the court. The task for the GOP is to make the public aware how ideologically alien the person is.

Last poll I saw said 75% of the American public wants Oboma to appoint a moderate.

Well, the democrats used the filibuster to prevent appeals nominees from being appointed well over nine months.

The GOP has little chance in making the public aware of how radical the nominee is without using or threatening to use the filibuster. Regardless, the GOP will attack and the left will spread blatant lies leaving the public confused.

The result is that a significant portion of the public will be in the dark until well after the nominee is confirmed.
