Democrats finally broke the filibuster on judicial nominees, and what does this President do? . . .

33. He also nominated Souter to the Supreme Court, maybe things aren't exactly the same.

Maybe there has been some pretty nasty waters have gone under the bridge.

I also double dog dare ya to try to make a case that Sotomayor is anything thing like equal on the left end of the spectrum to the to fucking despicable Reich wing nuttery of some of these vermin.
In fact, I bet an easier case can be made that Sotomayor is pretty damn moderate.

There is no excuse to nominate a disenfranchiser, at what point does someone drawn a line? Eating babies?

I understand the practice but you can't let it dictate fundamental principles be cast aside, along with citizens. Everything has its limits which means the concept and the word "no" have to remain in the vocabulary.

You also have to accept the reality of their dominance on the benches and the nearly unlimited nature of their pursuit of their regressive agenda, the advancement of the interests of the wealthy, and utter disregard for truth and for "small people".

Better to bust up a "gentleman's agreement" then add to an already dangerous level of systemic entropy. AKA cutting your own throat. AKA eating the seed corn.

They stack extremist with consistently little to no resistance and we scramble to sneak in moderates, where will the balance land? We absolutely cannot put in right wing extremists when we have the ball, there is no sane argument and any Tit for tat is greatly overstated, at best.
