I think everyone really needs to re-read lordjeebus' thoughts on this. He/she really hits the nail on the head. No matter what are you political leanings might be, REALLY REALLY think about what it means to have a EXTREME viewpoint our court systems. Is this what America is about?

I am opposed to anyone, liberal or conservative, becoming a judge if their beliefs are extreme enough to produce unfair judgements. Unfortunately, I bet that there are many judges like this out there. Look at the Supreme Court!
When the democrats seek to block the most extreme judicial nominees, I support them. I also support republicans that block the most extreme liberal nominees -- despite the fact that my political beliefs are more liberal than most.
