Keep it coming!

The Senate confirmed one of Pres. Bush's judicial nominees yesterday. The guy was a reasonable appointment and absolutely no one voted against the appointment. Yet there will still be a big stink once the Democrats in the Senate filibuster the 10 miscreant Jerks that the President wants to appoint to a federal bench. I know the tide of hypocrisy flows freely in Washington but in this instance the hypocrisy lies with the republicans whining about filibusters being used against the most extreme of the President's judicial nominees. Bush has a higher confirmation rate than Clinton, and the Republican's didn't mind the existence of a filibuster when it meant keeping his appointees of the bench.

In short, I say keep confirming all the reasonable judges and make it news! bombard the public with a confirmation a week and then when you get to the unreasonable appointments just say "NO!". If the Republicans won't budge on the nominees then the Democrats shouldn't budge on the Filibuster!
