Well, At Least They Have Credibility (Not)

Ahhh, politics. Deployment of the so-called "nuclear option" on judicial nominees is now just days away, as we learn in this story. But here's a bit of evidence that this is not about any grand defense of the Constitution, as the GOP would like you to believe. It's party politics, and toxic party politics at that:

Conservatives during the last Congress accused Democrats of being anti-minority for blocking Brown, who is black; anti-women for blocking Owen, and anti-Catholic for blocking Pryor.

Nice.
