None of the nominees currently being considered warrant being filibustered, IMO. This is simply a result of the Dems now being reduced to a minority and looking for an issue to push. Perhaps. I haven't studied the situation closely enough to have an opinion. I don't see how any of us could gather enough evidence I'd need to form an opinion on the judicial temperament of any of the candidates. My point still stands. Even if the Dems are being outrageous in their objections, the statesmanlike response must still be to give them some candidates they will approve and fill the damn vacancies with people of your liking that don't stick out like sore thumbs. They can't just keep obstructing all the candidates. There are lots and lots of candidates out there. Pushing the controversial ones is just partisan pique.
