They're already in a frenzy and Ru$h and Fox and Michael $teele, Chairman of the RepubliCON Party do all they can to encourage mob violence. Contrary to Steele’s Claim, State GOP Are Actively Promoting Town Hall Mobs and Violence

I saw this on French news. I think the vote by the Senate is great and the reactions are petty and disturbing. Thanks Cal.

It was more or less a given that she would make the nomination given the fact the the senior Bush appointed her to a position at the time he was president. Her records also indicate her good judgement on cases. She was cool and calm during the reviewing process.
