OK...Please respond to the third I don't have an opinion on the Ginsburg nomination process...I did not follow it closely enough to comment. I just could not let slide your comment that the GOPers have been perfect ladies and gentlemen toward Dems for the past forty years. If anything, the Dems have acted like doormats as the Right Wing Extremists (not all GOPers) abused them repeatedly. Only now, when the Dems have finally had enough and have worked up the gumption to fight back, are we hearing shrieks of "incivility" from the Far Right.

Just as a for instance, do you remember such vileness when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated for the court by a Democratic President...? And how about Breyer? It's important to remember, Karen, that Clinton's SC nominations were made in deep consultation with Orren Hatch. As you can see from an earlier post of mine, there is a story that Hatch even suggested Ginsburg. And Breyer was a consensus choice because of his previous work in various capacities in the Senate before going back to Harvard. Clinton consulted; Bush did not. Explains a lot.
