Power Line Smack Down
Power Line has a great point on the media obsession with how the Dems will vote on Judge Roberts -- WHO CARES!!

"This whole Supreme Court nomination story has gotten a little weird, with everyone in suspense over whether the minority Democrats will approve Bush's nominees. Who cares? Since when does the Senate minority get to establish the critieria for Supreme Court nominations? When Clinton nominated Ruth Ginsburg in 1993, do you remember any discussion of what she would have to do to satisfy the Republicans? No, neither do I. (In the event, she did nothing, and they voted for her anyway.) The reality is that Roberts will be confirmed whether he gets a single Democratic vote or not. For all their furrowed brows and mangled metaphors, the Democrats' self-appointed role as the Court's gatekeepers is a joke. If they want to control who gets onto the Court, they have to go back to winning elections."
