Not with the folks now in charge of our govt. This is the most partisan bunch I've ever seen. This is GOP Total War.
Its weird that we get bitter attacks on a "political" supreme court from a certain wing of the political spectrum, and then at nomination time the same gallery choruses "stuff your legal ability, what's your view on gays?"
The hypocrisy has been hilarious. What I especially have enjoyed is the two faced approach that reminded me of Arafat making statements to the world that said one thing, then to Palestinians that said another. In this case we had comments about how Miers religious views would assure that she voted right. On the other hand, religion was not supposed to be an issue and she would not be an activist judge etc.
