>Never. Never have the Republicans obstructed candidates like have been done with Estrada, Pickering, and the other one (what's her name?). Well, I've actually admittedly only heard of one, and I can't remember the name... was mentioned on Capital Gang the other night... so, you're right, the number of times the Dems have done it vastly outnumbers the number of times the Republicans have. >Actually, for me it is a constitutional issue. I don't think the Democrats trying to dilute the president's power is a good thing. It is clear the Constitution doesn't envision this kind of "advise & consent"... Checks and balances, man... sure, it's annoying, but if you can do it, why not? The Republicans should, if they get the chance. -Z
