When Spector said the other day that he wanted to look at the NSA tap stuff for Heyden’s hearing, that had to be red meat to the democratic statesmen on the committee..but if anyone , and he has before, Heyden will joust with the less informed and make them wish they had stayed home that morning.

The Democrats believe that they MUST make a “controversy” out of any judge with the slightest whiff of Federalist Society and the remotest chance of someday getting a nod for a higher court. They got embarrassed a couple of times over the years when it was pointed out that an Appeals Court nominee was somebody they had previously voted to confirm to a federal bench somewhere.

I totally agree with AJStrata about the masterstroke “Gang of 14″ ruse that the GOP pulled on the Democrats and have argued the point relentlessly over at FR. “It’s the results, stupid.” All the big boys (and girls) have been confirmed, including Roberts, Alito, JRB, Priscilla Owen, and Bill Pryor. It would have been nice to see Pickering get a lifetime slot, but at this point I look at any more decent confirmations that we may get as gravy.

The only real disappointment is that Estrada seems to be out of the game.
