Here's a great quote:
Fact is, we need a new Supreme Court justice, and Bush, as president gets to nominate. The Senate, run by Republicans, gets to confirm. That's a perk of winning elections, and [Dems could ] filibuster, but really, it was in Bush's interest, just like Clinton's, to find a safe candidate. Reid offered up Miers, Bush agreed.
Oh, so genteel! And who is this Socrates? This Thalia inspired sage?
You've probably already guessed.

The concept of 'the loyal opposition' is not dead after all. Practical politics rules!
Huzzah.
Or did I miss the point?
No, I think that's it. Like I say in my header, I think democracy only works when we *all* get to do things we don't like.
The "loyal opposition" only works well when they get to win occasionally. Otherwise they harden into Norquist/Kos-like partisens.
Hopefully the pendulum is swinging back towards the center and leveler heads will prevail.
Hopefully.
