Maybe we can get back to just picking whoever the best judge in the country is at any particular time rather than whoever the most left- or right-leaning passable judge is.
There is no such thing as "the best judge in the country".
As Virginia has noted over and over again, it's one thing to wish everybody would play nicer, but one side cannot unilaterally disarm if the other side won't agree to disarm too, and hope to gain any advantage. There has to be another way around this than chiding the Democrats for playing hardball (and really, let's be honest, only sort of playing hardball).
