I'm not saying two wrongs make a right, but the fact is that the Senate will not even get to vote on judicial nominations because of Leahy, and I think that's wrong. I read with particular interest these paragraphs from the article you cited: President Bush, who assumed office in a tainted election with a minority of the popular vote, would be wise to appoint only moderate judges. But since he owes his very office to the partisanship of the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, most of his appointments will apparently be right-wingers of the same stripe. It is up to Democrats to restore balance and moderation to the judiciary - but that, paradoxically, will take some partisan nerve. -------------- My closing thought would be that it's time to get over the 2000 Presidential election. And be thankful for the Electoral College because if not for that, we'd probably still be counting votes today.
