#4 At a grueling, seven-hour hearing last month, flanked by his wife and three young children

He made his wife and kids sit thru a day-long Senate hearing? That sounds like torture to me. A little strange too; like when you bring your Mom with you on a job interview.

#5 Have the Republicans in the Senate simply given up the fight?

To acquiesce to such a bad nominee would be unthinkable to anyone with courage of convictions.

#7 I didn't realize the senate trunks were going to fight. I thought they were just going to make sure they got their fair share of pork. Like the Caliphornia trunks.

#8 Besides choosing their fights, having the dirt on somebody as powerful as attorney general gives them some leverage in the future. May help keep him in line. They overlooked Obama's birth certificate and other controversial issues, too, but it may come in handy to have an ace or two to play.
