Thanks a lot, Justice Ginsburg

You could have easily stepped down in 2013, when the Democrats still had control of the Senate. Pres. Obama could have appointed another justice with your ideals who was young and would have kept your seat in liberal hands for the next few decades. Now, the Senate is controlled by the same assholes who would lije for you to be replaced by another Samuel Alito or Clarence Thomas. And if the Repuucans recapture the White House in 2016, that's exactly who will replace you.

We, and our children will be paying the price for you stubbornness for the next half-century. How could you, Justice Ginsburg?

17. Not for 3 1/2 years

There is no way they could have justified filibustering for that long. Folks like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Orrin Hatch, and blue staters like Kirk and Toomey would have eventually broken ranks.

This DUmmy has never heard of Miguel Estrada.

George W. Bush nominated Estrada to a position on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on May 9, 2001. He received a unanimous "well-qualified" rating from the American Bar Association.

Leaked internal memos to Democratic Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin mention liberal interest groups' desire to keep Estrada off the court partially because "he is Latino," and because of his potential to be a future Supreme Court nominee.[6] A spokesman for Durbin said that "no one intended racist remarks against Estrada" and that the memo only meant to highlight that Estrada was "politically dangerous" because Democrats knew he would be an "attractive candidate" that would be difficult to contest since he didn't have any record.[6] Democrats argued that Estrada had extreme right-wing views, although others pointed to Estrada's difference with some conservatives on Commerce Clause issues.[7]

After twenty-eight months in political limbo and a protracted six-month battle using the filibuster, Estrada withdrew his name from further consideration on September 4, 2003
