You overlook that the dems did consider nominations though and Roberts did get confirmed. Big difference because the repubs have already said they won't budge and even told Obama not to bother. Your party will pay for that.
M E M, I just proved with videotaped comments how Sen. Chuck Schumer wanted to not consider any Bush nominee, during the remaining 18 months of W.Bush's term.
And how Barack Obama himself demonstrated such incivility that he voted to not confirm Justice Roberts, despite his not being able to cite any basis for rejecting Roberts' nomination.
The Republicans are not doing anything the Democrats didn't do in 2007 when they had a majority. And the Republicans are absolutely within their rights in doing so. As every Senate of either party has done for decades.
