The only cards the Dems have are the same ones they usually play. They'll delay, refuse to vote, do a lot of yelling, screaming, and generally just try to string the process out to 2008 while hoping a Democrat wins the White House. |

Their strategy is fine with me, I get what I want, they get to complain, everybody wins. |

Just watch the "So Called Liberal Media" over the next few days...they'll be acting as if the sky is falling. Nothing at all has changed. Exactly.

They could do that now with Roberts, so I think his appointment (without filibuster) will prove that they are not solely partisan actors (all the time). You've got to give them a break on some aspects of these hearings. The Bush administration is one of the most secretive bunch of officials to have graced the halls of the WH in an extremely long time. The Dems main beef with the GOP and WH re: Robert's is the lack of background provided on the guy. Even though I would most likely vote for Robert's myself at this point, I'd have an extremely difficult time doing so because of the unnerving precedent is sets for future nominees. This isn't a game, it's the highest court in the land. I mean, what next? Will the next nominee receive their hearing as they stand behind a curtain? "You can't see who they are until you vote for them! Nah, nah, nah naaaah nah!"

Shouldn't you be out playing in traffic? mrC |

I don't consider refusing to vote as doing their jobs. I see it as analagous to a doctor refusing to treat patients or a cook refusing to make food. It is their JOB to vote. If they don't like the issue, vote no, but do the job and cast the vote. |
