Reply #42: We're too civil to these savages.

I kid you not. It only confuses them. While we're in power, we work with them, as do all decent people who aren't out for self-glorification, or on raw power trips. When the tables are turned, they have no shame in being combative and antagonistic towards us.

Bipartisan efforts made by Clinton --

For federal district courts, Clinton sought specific recommendations from senators:

"Senators Orrin Hatch and Trent Lott each suggested candidates for district court seats in their home states; Hatch pushed strongly for the nomination of Ted Stewart in Utah, and Lott recommended Allen Pepper in Mississippi. Despite concerns expressed by civil rights and environmental groups, both Stewart and Pepper were nominated by President Clinton and quickly confirmed."

~ Prior to the Supreme Court nominations of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.Press, Clinton was reported to have seriously consulted with Senator Orrin Hatch, both before and after he assumed control of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Is Bush even capable of showing the same bipartisan consideration? Ha!

~ In 1999, President Clinton accepted the recommendation of Republican Senator Slade Gorton and nominated Barbara Durham for a seat on the Ninth Circuit…despite objections from progressive groups.
