Reply #5: They lie.

They simply out and out lie, and refuse to admit that happened. That's their only answer, because the facts betray them.

Unlike Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and Shrub, Clinton never proposed an ideologicallly indentifiable judge because there was no way in hell he could get one through. Even then, they refused to let half his nominees get to a floor vote. Senior judges were screaming at the caseloads and magistrates were doing most of the work because of so many empty seats and the increased workload.

It was a right-winger, or no one. Now that they have complete control, they think they can have their way.

Never, ever, before has a rightwing thinktank like the Federalist Society been in charge of vetting judicial nominees. This is destroying the balance in the Federal courts, and spells doom for years.

Way beyond the grisly economics or bloody wars, this will have the most far-reaching effect of any of his vile actions.

Everything else we can undo, everything but a rightwing Federal judiciary.
