Drudge currently has this flash headline that says:

HOWARD THE DUCK: DEAN DODGES NBC APPEARANCE WITH REPUBLICAN
Sun Nov 13 2005 09:17:22 ET

Dem Chair Dean Ducks Last Second Joint MEET THE PRESS Appearance With GOP Chair Mehlman

He takes a swipe at Howard Dean for not agreeing to a head-to-head discussion with Ken Mehlman on MTP today.

I have a proposition to Drudge: Why don't you arrange for Bush or Cheney to go head to head with Howard Dean next Sunday on MTP (say in an extended 2 hr segment)? Better yet, why don't you have them both come in and go 2-on-1 against Dean?

Of course, as in the case of their appearance with the 9/11 commission, they don't have to go under oath!

Dear Sen. Obama:

please allow me to predicate my statement with its conclusion:

The Democratic leadership is failing, time and again, by lacking in all or most of these aspects:

solidarity of purpose and conviction
articulation and adherence to guiding principles of progressive legislation and governance
strategic courses of action

My case in point is the subject of your recent diary here at daily Kos.
In my opinion, the Democratic leadership failed to show strategic judgement and leadership in not demanding and insisting from the day after Justice Rehnquist expired on 9/3/05, that they would want Bush to name his second nominee.

Had you done so, you could have voted based on whether the eventual composition of the court would serve the interests of the people in the most reasonable, if not progressive, manner.

Please read on. Read More

Briefly: The Democratic leadership in the senate must demand Bush to name his nominee for the seat held by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor before a vote on Judge Roberts' confirmation is taken.

Doesn't that make for a more informed decision on the eventual makeup of the Court?

At first reflection, it may appear to be a bit late to take that approach, with some senators having already stated their vote positions on Roberts, but a tough stand as suggested here CAN still be taken.

I'd be quite surprised if the Senate Democrats didn't think about this already, and if they did, why wasn't there any mention by them of this issue anywhere? It makes one wonder.

Please see below the flip an observation of mine, potentially very critical, regarding even-numbered SC benches, and possible hung juries.

PLEASE RECOMMEND this diary, as the matter is very urgent. Read More
