They voted to filibuster their own party's nominee because the nominee did his job and got a client spared from the death penalty? Time for some primary challenges to these DINOs. Especially to Casey and Coons, who are from blue states.

Debo is simply too controversial to be nominated. It is unfortunate Reid brought this to the floor and allowed Obama and many conservative Dems be embarrassed over this.

Alberto  Gonzales, Condi Rice, and Samuel Alito were all very controversial, but that didn't stop Bush from getting them confirmed. It would have only taken 41 Democrats to block any of those.

^and Democrats were a much more deferential opposition than Republicans have been to President Obama.

Republican obstructionism makes both parties look bad. Why were Democrats so absolutely pathetic in standing up to Bush?
