I'm afraid the big problem here is it shows just how controlled the democrats are by their special interests and how they are willing to make their decisions. Judges are suppose to be appointed based on their merit as a judge, understanding and enforcing the law, not based on how they decide a case.

Now if they said 'I don't want him to be a judge because I think he is unqualified as a lawyer and untested.' That’s fine.

When they do 'Lets try to obstruct his nomination in any way possible because the NAACP is worried he might not decide a case the way we want him to', its proof of what their real motives are.

It is based around a deeper issue as well, which is judges basically deciding to ignore the law based on their own personal opinion, its a form a despotism that unfortunately is not handled well by the constitution. Since you are a liberal, I'll use an example you can get a feeling for. Lets say at some point abortion came up to a vote and was made legal (if you think it was voted on in such a way you are wrong). Now abortions are legal, period, its the law of the land and the will of the people. Now lets say this is challenged and goes to the supreme court, and they say something to the effect that abortion is murder and therefore can not be allowed under the law, effectively putting a ban on abortions. Now the will of the people, as clearly stated in the law has been thwarted, and there is very little you can do about it. This sort of thing happens quite often in our courts where judges decide what the law SHOULD be, not what the law is. If you don't see a problem with this, then there really isn't much to talk about.
