[...] While President Bush is not explicitly bound to uphold the filibuster compromise, his continued stonewalling, eerily reminiscient of his "consultation" with the U.N. prior to the invasion of Iraq, is hardly what a neutral observer would consider adequate consultation with the Senate. If anything, the Democrats have held to their end of the bargain by suggesting to president Bush names of nominees that they could accept – much like when Orrin Hatch suggested Ruth Bader Ginsberg to President Clinton instead of Clinton’s preferred nominee, then-Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt.

Jon,

In what universe are you living in where Ruth Bader Ginsburg faced a Republican controlled Senate for her nomination? I ask because in my universe, the Democratic party controlled the Senate 56-44 for both of the nominations made during Clinton’s term in office. Hatch was the ranking MINORITY member of the Senate Judiciary committee when this meeting was made.

Please stop spreading your conservative lies.

I think this expert shows that the Republicans are typically open minded about the reality of a sitting President choosing whomever he decides fits with his ideology. Despite their differences, Republicans seems to understand and respect this role of the Presidency.

Democrats on the other hand, don’t seem to grasp this Presidential perrogative and want to stupidly fight to place a left-wing ideologue on the Bench. Despite all their wailing, it’s never going to happen. They need to wake up and get a dose of reality. No President can be expected to pick someone opposed to his own beliefs. All this “crying” over conservative nominees is undignified.

Doesn’t it sting when Bush consistently goes against all the pre-conceived notions that dems have about him? Consulted 70 senators, chose a highly qualified, widely respected candidate, who was confirmed unanimously only two years ago. Can’t wait to see Chucky Schumer, Dicky Durbin, and Barbara Boxer screaming from the rafters about how this guy is the second coming of Hitler. What a joke the whole thing is.

Which just goes to show that Repubs are looking more at qualifications than ideology. The nominees that the left has deemed too “radical” have either been drug the the ringer (Thomas) or outright kicked to the curb (Bork). Get back to me after Bush nominates a couple of people and let’s see how the Dems treat them.

Given that 7 of 9 current Supremes are Republican appointees it’s hilarious to listen to caterwallin from the right about Judicial imperialism. Wake me when it’s over!

Did I read in the second post that “Bill Clinton had class”
If class is getting a blowjob in the office that I pay for as a tax payer, or sexual harrassment of Paula Jones among other women. Is that the idea of class? Liberal class maybe? I think sexual harrassment is about as classless as one gets.

The Senate looked to the ABA for a rating to characterize the capabilities of a jurist in past years. Would not all of President Bush’s nominations to the Courts of Appeals satisfy Mark’s suggestion for a nomination based on the capabilities, even Justive Rogers-Brown or Owen? If I am not mistaken all received high marks from the ABA. The problem is that Leahy lacks the courage to rise above his liberal blinders, and thus will not suggest any person other than a “moderate” – translated as a conservative liberal.

Hatch made recommendations that Clinton could live with. Even though they were decidedly liberal, Hatch looked at their capabilities as opposed to their ideology. Will Leahy do likewise? Suggest a conservative nominee based on their capabilities as opposed to their ideology?
