[QUOTE="SueEllenRules!, post: 17872, member: 87"] [SIZE=17px][FONT=UICTFontTextStyleBody][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Which Supreme Court Justices have the Democrats had significant opposition to other than Bork and Clarence Thomas, both of whom were opposed for obvious reasons? And even those two nightmares were given confirmation hearings and a vote. The Republicans, on the other hand, won't even give Obama's moderate nominee a hearing, much less a vote. And how many times have the Republicans shut down the federal government rather than work out a compromise on the budget with the Democratic president? They are far more obstinate than the Democrats ever thought about being and the American public knows it.
