Remember, there are Democrats who are DEDICATED to working with the GOP, and giving the GOP what they want, and then crowing that they "got something done."
When I moved to Tampa from Durham, I opened up a new Florida credit union account, and asked that my direct deposit be switched at the same time from the account in Durham. Two weeks later, I idly opened up what should have been a "not for deposit" paycheck, and was horrified to see it was a real paycheck. Ordinarily I never even opened those things. I called the new credit union to find out why that happened, and they told me they couldn't do that online, I would have to do that in person. (1987). I said well, why didn't you call me or leave the direct deposit at my old credit union, I could still access it. They said, well, we wanted to do SOMETHING, so we just cancelled your direct deposit.
That's how this feels, although I suspect a moderate/conservative judge suits Obama just fine.
Anyone who thought Obama was going to nominate anyone liberal (or that Hillary would) is a fool.
Yeah, nominate something the GOP will bless - and then the rest of us have to live under that for many years. Thanks.
