Poll: Pragmatic vs Principle re: Roberts vote. Should dems filibuster

[In Truth We Trust]

Poll question: Poll: Pragmatic vs Principle re: Roberts vote. Should dems filibuster

because it is the principled thing to do or should they be "pragmatic" because he'll be supported by a republican majority?

1. Save the heavy artillery for the next nominee. Let Roberts go.

2. None of the above. Vote NO, but get out and explain why first, like

Kennedy & Kerry just did.

3. No votes and no filibuster

If all the dems vote no it leaves it up to the few reps that have a problem with our first "gay" justice to deny the appointment.
I know there are serious problems with this appointment but I feel a filibuster at this time will be wasted and unify the reps.
We still have one more fight coming up and will in all likelyhood need all of our energy in one place.

4. Exactly...

If we filibuster the Republicans bring in Cheney to change the rules of the Senate and then we lose and look impotent and lose the ability to use it in the future....

We need to save the filibuster in case Bush* nominates a nutjob like Janice Rogers Brown to the Supreme Court....

Then we can oppose her with the knowledge we are fulfilling the will of a large majority of Americans...

Roberts couldn't be Borked....

5. Rack up solid block of "NO" votes, draw big line in sand, save fillibuster

for next nominee.
