The political discourse in DC is getting a little less civil all of the time. When President Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsberg to the Court the confirmation vote was 96-3. She was at one time the chief counsel to the ACLU. The GOP Senators felt the President got to get his choice approved. When it came to President Bush's choice of Samual Alieto the vote was 58-42. Over the years the Dems in the Senate had a larger political agenda. It was to damage the Bush Administration at all cost. I suspect the GOP won't forget that soon. All the worse for us all.
Oh, and read what Rush actually said.
