The GOP accuses the Democratic party of supporting Liberal justices who legislate liberally from the bench yet when they want to appoint conservative judges to legislate conservatively from the bench and the Dems try to block it they cry foul. I don't really believe that ALL of the liberal judges are legislating from the bench though I will not say there are those that do not. It's the same thing - If you fellas were out there trying to nominate someone reasonable who wasn't going to do this then I would be crying foul on the democrats stalling but that isn't the case - oh and historically speaking with this senate if it were the judge would have already been approved. You aren't trying to get these judges in as much as you're trying to ensure that when the president appoints his "judicial legislature" ...er..I mean judge to the next supreme court opening that you get whom ever you want regardless of the other 49% of the country.
Yeah.
Hypocrites to the last.
Personally I feel that if a judge cannot be broadly accepted then he shouldn't be appointed so I have no problem with a minority - republican or democrat doing what they can to block them.
