Of course, the next time you have a Democratic Congress and president, I expect them to nominate the head of the ACLU and dance a jig on the minority side of the aisle as they ram the nomination through. Ugly but predictable.

I doubt it. Clinton's two appointments were made as a result of deep consultation with Orren Hatch, the Utah Rep Senator who headed the Judiciary Committee then. The story goes that Hatch even recommended Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And, of course, Stephen Breyer had worked in various capacities in the senate before returning Harvard. He was well respected and well liked.

So, it's important to remember that Clinton was consultative; Bush has not been.
