I presume that "the Schumer Doctrine" can be put into effect by Republicans to frustrate the nominations of a Democratic President, right? Because if we are abandoning the idea that nominees ought to be considered on their merits and we are simply arguing instead that the Supreme Court ought to be completely politicized, then it won't be one side alone that engages in the politicization, now will it?

"No more Supreme Court Justices until January 21, 2009 no matter what the circumstances," eh? The audacity and destructive nihilism of that comment just takes your breath away.
