71. So, because one's clientele is objectionable, you are incompetent?
That's a surprising argument for a law professor to make.

Again, neither you nor any poster on this board has explained how, since the suggested Democrat failed, and Obama has two blue lining Senators--AND, doesn't have cloture, he is supposed to get a Democrat into Utah.

Explain the magical math to me that gets this job filled with a Democrat.
