When you look at who the Democrats filibustered, it was only a handful of extremely far right conservative jurists who were blocked. Bush got his way most of the time. In fact, the only lasting legacy Bush will have is in the courts.

The hypocrisy is not in the blocking of judges. The hypocrisy is in criticizing the Dems for filibustering and then filibustering yourself….which is what Kyl said he plans to do.

I know it's always a battle, but this ain't like football. In football, when an opponent took a cheap shot, you waited….and got him back at an opportune time. Theoretically, at least, with government, we're all on the same team.

Is 40.1% your cutoff for making it unreasonable? Was 45.0% okay back when you guys were blocking judges and blocked us from getting what we wanted when we had 55 seats?

You are the one calling us hypocrites for talking up blocking possible judges, when your party has gone out of their way to do it the last 8 years. Its just another example of "what is good for me is not good for thee."

All these years Democrats have acted like asses on judiciary matters. Now I think they should get whats coming to them. If that is offensive to you, okay. So be it. I dont give a damn what other Democrats or Republicans think. I am still pissed off at the way our nominees were treated and I want payback.

W. got what he wanted with Roberts and Alito. The Dems didn't stop those two stone-age benchers.

I know I'm dealing here with GOP voters….but who was it that set the record for number of filibusters in the last Congress?

Forty-some percent of Americans didn't vote for Obama or for Dem legislators. Their representatives should do everything they can to make sure that perspective is taken into account.

That demonstrates a lack of integrity, at least to me.

When a president receives a mandate from the people, as Obama clearly has, the opposition party should seek common ground where it can be found. The people do not want the minority to monkey wrench the process…which is what I'm afraid Boehner and Boys will seek to do.

The one thing I'm positive about……Americans did not elect Obama and the Democrats by such wide margins in order for the Republicans to block and obstruct change as outlined during the campaign.

If the GOP'ers attempt to wreck the process, whcih I fully expect them to do, they will fall even further into obscurity. It's a perfect storm this time caused by the total malfeasance of Republicans the last 8 years.
