just so we can withdraw him or her and dare them to filibuster a second nominee?


Couldn't we do better than "mainstream" if we were aggressive about this situation?

1. You mean like Miers?
No one will ever convince me that she wasn't the stalking horse to get Alito through.

4. I'm behind Ralph Nader.
For one thing, it will get him out of Presidential politics.

For another, he has a lot of really good humanitarian principles.
