[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much sanctimonious b-s about the senate doing its duty, etc.

I am a liberal and if someone like a Ginsburg were to retire or die, I'd want a Democratic senate to use every available means to block the nomination if the president were Republican - and if the vacancy occurred in an election year.

It is just politics and both sides indulge in this sort of thing. It is the reason why Schumer essentially talked about blocking nominations under GWB after Roberts and Alito were appointed and turned out to be even more conservative than was anticipated.[/quote]

I'm a liberal Democrat, but if the roles were reversed and a good moderate judge by a Republican were nominated I'd have no reason to complain. But current Republican party would try and get a Scalia-clone and I would not be OK with that.

This is a great move by Obama. I think another swing judge is probably a good thing for the court, and America. When Hillary is President she can nominate a solid liberal replacement for Ginsberg. [/quote]
