I thought one of the most interesting (and unsurprising) findings of the Whit Ayres poll about public atittudes on judges and the Senate fights their nominations prompt is the large majorities who don’t think that being pro-life is disqualifying. 79 percent of all voters disagree that being pro-life on abortion should disqualify an otherwise qualified candidate, including 79 percent of Independents and 77 percent of Democrats. Given that this argument is a central line of attack by Senate Democrats, it appears they are representing the isolated, extreme views of only angry, demanding feminists. Bring on Bill Pryor.

P.S. Sixty-one percent of Democrats agree that Senators who are opposing nominees are “just playing partisan politics.” Can’t imagine that the photo-op stunt helped change their minds.
