BillD,

The entire post was a quote. Sorry if you did not see that.





Amerigin:

You seem to be attacking me for bringing up what others think- perhaps that is because YOU are not capable of thinking about the topic yourself?

I thought it was an interesting and fair viewpoint: Others may not agree, but at least have a reason other than that ** I ** posted it.





Amos,

"is there any evidence Obama as senator was discourteous or unthoughtful in his votes?"

Is there any evidence that the Republicans are discourteous or unthoughtful in their votes?.


"We believe elections have consequences, and presidents are entitled to some deference in their appointment of judges, if those presidents show enough respect for the bench to name men and women of quality. Mr. Bush was owed better than then-Sen. Obama gave him; despite that record, Mr. Obama is owed deference now. "

I have NOT objected to the present nomonee- as the above statement reflects what I think. A pity that the Democrats have not, in the past, acted accordingly. And a pity the the Republicans may not, in this case: But they may try to show that they will at least voice their concerns, even if they cannot in any case block it. They are taliking to their base, as the Democrats have in the past, regardless of the impact on national politics and the courts.
