#1 Leahy ain't stupid. He sees the writing on the wall and Roberts is going to be nominated no matter what, even if the nuclear option needs used. Better to cut your losses on this one and really protest the second nomination coming down the pipe.

#2 Leaky is letting Roberts pass because its inevitable. He is saving his venom until the next nominee, it's that simple.

#3 I am still hoping that Bush appoints Brown or Estrada. Not because they are minorities, but because the LLL politicos will go bonkers over the paper trail they have. That will expose the Liberals for what they truly are: panderers for the left-wing kooks. Both Brown and Estrada have controversial rulings that the fringe can't stand. Brown refused to allow someone sue because of a off color but clearly not intended racial joke and Estrada wrote the brief that said it's ok to use aggressive interrogation techniques on detained enemy combatants. Both of these would fall directly in the mainstream of America but the left will try contort them into something they arenât. I just want to see Robert Byrd bad mouthing a Black Female Federal Appeals Court Judge; you just canât buy that kind of entertainment. I think Estrada should answer all his questions in Spanish and make the Senators get translators. They wouldnât dare tell him that he can only use English because that would be racist.

#4 I'd love to see Byrd vote No on the third straight black candidate for the Supreme Court. That'd help his re-election chances.

#5 Sadly Ms. Davis is probably would help his re-election chances. It's no secret to his constituents that he was in the KKK, you know.
