The difference between the Dems with W and the GOP with Obama is huge. The Dems would whine and complain for a while, then cave in when the right-wingers started calling them freedom-hating pinkos. Pelosi and Reid were spineless and naive as party leaders, and it never even occured to them to shut things down like the GOP is doing at the moment. And now they only have themselves to blame, since Reid is the one responsible for shutting down the Senate with the 60-vote rule. Self-serving idiots, the both of them.
Halting nominations is child's play compared to the current situation.
