The Repubs blocked the nominations of many more of Clinton's judges than the Dems are threatening to block of Bush's. Clinton's nominees didn't even get a vote in the Judiciary Committee' much less a vote on the Senate floor. The Repubs didn't need the filibuster because they didn't allow the nominations out of committee.
Do away with the filibuster and the party in power can appoint radical (to the left or right) judges for life. What we need - - and ought to have- - on the federal benches
are moderate judges who will follow the law and not try to rewrite it.
The repubs need to lose this one.
