I'm all for this, but nobody ever votes for losers, and the Republicans are looking more and more like losers and weaklings.
Besides, in the year+ before a supermajority would even be possible, the Dems could do incalculable damage and certainly will defeat all of Bush's other judicial picks.
They've got to do something NOW.
Sadly, that sentiment has quite the ring of truth to it. Elections are popularity contests, or contests where the voter wants to be associated with whoever won, nevermind what the politician advocates.
Rah Rah Rah and all that.
The country will be better served if we get past the superficial ("we" being a majority of voters), but I honestly wonder if that is in the realm of possibility.
