I was attempting to provide an example where the "right wingers" did not let Bush off the hook. They loudly challenged his judgement when he nominated Meiers.


They supported ideology and possibly judicial philosophy over Republican partisanship. The same thing can happen on the left.

If "your guy" doesn't support your ideas on something important you have a choice to either go with your ideas in this important area or to support "your guy" with the thought that if he stays strong you might get better overall results than if the "other guys" win. The first example is supporting ideology and ideas over partisanship. The 2nd is supporting partisanship over ideology. In different situations there are good reasons to choose one method or the other.
