"Four years ago this month, as a staffer for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, I sat at the back of the Senate Chamber and listened to Republicans denounce efforts to filibuster President Bush's judicial appointments. One after another, they sermonized about the body's constitutional, even moral, obligation to give each nominee an "up or down vote."
At the time, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said, "It's time to make sure all judges receive a fair vote on the Senate floor."
However, many conservatives, in a desperate attempt to reclaim relevance, are already calling on Senate Republicans to filibuster Obama's highly qualified pick.
Not only would this be one of the greatest acts of hypocrisy in the 220-year history of the Senate, it would be an admission by Republicans that their actions four years ago were nothing more than a political stunt."

Yup. That's all these Republican turds are good for. Political stunts. That's all they know and they still haven't realized that this is now only playing to the last dregs of their constituency. No one else is fooled anymore.
