#1 The Democrats are every day in every way coming to resemble a bad Saturday Night Live sketch. It's hard to tell who is more pathetic, Reid or Pelosi. When Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton are the best you have, it's time to start thinking about a third party.

#2 ... if Republicans unilaterally change the rules to assure confirmation of President Bushâs controversial court appointments...

Shouldn't that read, "If Republicans put to a free and open vote a proposed rule change that would end unprecedented and unconstitutional Democratic obstructionism and allow judicial nominees a floor vote as mandated by the Constitution of the United States?"

#3 If they are so 'controversial', then what are the Dems so afraid of? Surely there's just no way they could get even 51 votes.

#4 "President Bushâs controversial court appointments." Funny how none of the Demospeak ever addresses WHY these nominees are "controversial" that's because the can't state their stupid reasons out loud. If they Said "We can't let him sit on the bench because he is Catholic or conservative" it would fall on deaf ears. I think the Republicans should run with the 'Constitutional Option' TODAY, THIS MORNING. Then listen to the whine from the left for the next two years. People would tire of them and they would lose even more seats.

#5 Sarge, actually they DO address why, they just speak in tongues. They have code phrases that they toss around. All the looney left-progressives know the words but we're just sheep ya know, we can't possibly know better so it's best that we just do as we're told.

The real fears? Most of the appointments are anti-abortion and would probably vote to uphold state/fed laws that restrict abortion -- e.g., parental notification, partial-birth abortion, etc. Many of these appointments also tend to be stricter constructionists who read the Constitution as it's written, rather than as a 'living document'.
