A Battle Staged
Looks like the Tom DeLay school of acceleration into brick walls is continuing. Picking a favorite from the neo-con list of judicial candidates and then talking the "up-or-down vote" from Frist's mouth dares the Democrats and moderate Republicans to fight.
A win for moderates and Democrats will decisively break the backs of the Evangelical right in favor of voices of harmony. The fanatics on their side will redouble their efforts to edge into power at all levels of government, and I predict civil servants will become involved.
Seating someone like Judge Alito with his views on gays, abortion and personal freedoms will serve up a grim choice for those left of far right: cooperate or fight a battle for Moscow, one scorched earthern field of policy at a time.
