6. It's Scary To Think We Got Saved By The Wingnuts...
Rove and this puppetmasters surely felt they could steamroll Meyers onto the court. They had both Houses and were ready to use the "Nuclear Option" to prevent a cloture vote or fillibuster. It was the howling of the wingers like Bettamillion Bennett and even Rushbo that she wasn't "conservative" enough or that there was little record on her background...that was when her nomination hit the skids. Had Rove stroked his internal critics enough to shut them up, she would be sitting on the court right now.
One thing for certain...I felt a lot better seeing President Obama making that selection than having a president mccain do it.
I'm also pleased with the selection and now we'll have a summer long vetting process.
