If he doesn't, then that means the repukes will appoint about 90 new judges if they win in 2016. Elwood P Dowd Nov 2014 #6

There are over 60 vacancies now and a projected 30 more the next two years. That's scary.

No. Reid is absolutely useless. He's been unable to get anything done as majority leader, and if he gets to be minority leader he'll be totally unable to deal with the dirty tricks McConnell will pull out. That's why its absolutely imperative that we put major pressure on the Democratic Senators to elect someone like Elizabeth Warren as minority leader.
