I doubt we will win this one. BO has the votes. Even if we win, he just replaces her with another radical leftist. Eventually he will get one confirmed.
So what we ought to be doing is figuring out how to use this appointment to paint BO as the radical he is. Bringing BO down is going to be a cumulative process. Cheney and Guantanamo helped. Using the current nomination to pull the covers on his radical identity politics is another. He’s particularly vulnerable there because of his associations with Louis Farrakhan and Rev Wright. We need to use this nomination to pull the scab off that wound.
In other words, the win here is a bite taken out of BO. The win is not forcing him to appoint a moderate to the court—that ain’t gonna happen. But he can be damaged by this woman’s radical opinions and statements and it will be a little harder for him to govern. The nomination process is the opportunity we have to highlight her radical background because the publicity spotlight is focused. Her opinions, if understood, will not be well received by the American public.
If the public sees her as the judicial dunce as she is ... you never know. Great stock was placed in public opinion about Alito and Roberts.
Agree the odds are long.
The bet is the parrot media will cover for her. At some point that bet will fail.
