democrats opposed Harriet Myers? you are kidding of course...
it was a republican backlash that got Bush to backpedal on Myers,
(William Kristol - 'Disappointed- depressed, demoralized'
Limbaugh ditto ) etc etc.. despite nudge nudge wink wink she really is one of us... (Idont want to bother with links)
- (and they never did use that talking point again about the 'up or down vote' - exactly because Myers never got one thanks to their own side)

nuclear option whatever you want to call it..Republicans knew full well if they set the precedent.. one day the shoe would be on the other foot.

worst unconstitutional disaster in US history.?.. I thought that was the patriot act? and spying on Americans, and calling anyone (including US citizens non-combatants thereby taking away constitutional rights), renditions, secret detention camps.. etc..
