Leahy Caves on Roberts

Leahy Caves on Roberts

Deep disappointment here. Thanks, Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy... and it appears John Kerry, in a stab at relevance. John Edwards also sent out a note of opposition. But since he gave up his seat, which he could have run for even while seeking other office, and since a Republican won it, that's not especially important either.

UPDATE: Feinstein to Vote Against Roberts

Still awaiting word from the junior senator from New York.

Kos sums it up perfectly:

Ultimately, the Republicans have the White House and a solid majority in the Senate. If we want to stop the Roberts of the world in the future we have to do so at the ballot box. The Roberts battle was lost in 2004, 2002, and 2000.
