one of the best commentaries i have read re: democrats and their agreeing

[flordehinojos]

to an up or down vote on the bush re-sent judges, is by Geoff Staples of RadioLeft.com.

/snip/ George Bush sent these nominees back to the Senate after they were refused confirmation by a sustained filibuster in the 108th Congress along with eight more previously rejected judicial nominees. Mr. Bush resubmitted them solely to demonstrate that he could roll the Democrats, damage their base, and make them look like bigger cowards than he was during Viet Nam.

Bush succeeded.

Democratic Senators Inouye (HI), Landrieu (LA), Lieberman (CT), Pryor (AR), Salazar (CO), Byrd (WV), and Nelson (NE) delivered the victory to Mr. Bush on a silver platter. /snip/
