When you say "Republicans," you are mostly referring to Hatch, Specter, and Graham, on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Yes, the President appoints nominees, but let's not also forget how weak these three Republicans were when it came to confirming Democrat nominees.

Compare the statements of any of these three to the statements from Kennedy or Schumer regarding Republican nominees.

Republicans are simply unwilling to get in the mud and fight back. Things won't change until the generation of Hatch and McConnell are gone from the Senate.

This tells me that a President Mitt Romney isn’t going to do any better.

If Romney were to win, We’re probably going to have at best, another John Roberts if one of these justices retires.
