Hey, Andy, I agree re: your Daschle point (judges played a role, but there was more there there), and I’m not sure Shannen or Ramesh would disagree too much (if at all), and I complained during the summer that the GOP wasn’t doing what they should have been doing with the judge issue—the war and the courts were the two issues, it seemed to me. But, one quibble: The Specter nomination was controversial, and a heck of a lot of people got the problem. I blame the club in the Senate and weak-kneed Republicans for the fact he’s chairman—they could have fixed that (relatively) easily right after the election, but they didn’t…and here we are, back with the prospect of filibusters, with a Judiciary chairman whose got staff that’s not even on our team, and the likes of Bill Pryor wondering if he’s going to be in Alabama or Atlanta next year, because the fate of the president’s nominees rests with the likes of Pat Leahy and Charlie Schumer, not those who actually won the election.
