Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
The Washingotn Post had a ridiculous editorial today conceding that Obama was wrong to vote against Roberts, Alito and miguel Estrada but that republicans nevertheless should vote to confirm this woman on the grounds that a president is entitled to have his picks confirmed unless they are beyond the pale. Of course, no radical left racist activist will ever be beyond the pale for the Post. Basically, they are advising the republicans to engage in unilateral disarmament. Let your nominees be trashed and voted down on political groudns, but don;t repay the dems in kind.
The sad thing is that plenty of republican senators think exactly this way.
They whipped dogs.
It's like a football team. If the players expect to lose, they show up the games, but they don't play hard.
Someone needs to emerge and b a tru loyal opposition, while the pubs still have a brand left.
Absolute control is never a good thing. If President Obama does start to wander aimlessly, there needs to b a check. Right now the dems have nothing to slow them down, much less stop them.
