1. Funny, I just read on DU the left thinks ...

he just sealed his legacy as a "corporate appeaser".

I wonder if they consulted labor leaders, before arriving at their conclusion ... I know President Obama said he did.

2. I think it is smoke and mirrors to mess with the R Senators

Too pro-business for labor and I!

3. Smoke and mirror ... Chess ...

Yeah, I'm thinking it a brilliant move. Vulnerable Senators are thinking ... If we hold to our promise to not give the moderate, consensus confirmed nominee, who was good enough for the Court of Appeals for a hearing, we piss off a majority of the electorate.

If we give him a hearing; but, don't confirm the moderate, consensus confirmed nominee who was good enough for the Court of Appeals, we have to provide an explanation that can overcome our widely publicized, partisan resistance to doing our job ... and we risk pissing off a majority of the electorate.

If we give him a hearing and can't come up with a compelling reason that overcomes our widely publicized, partisan resistance, they get a Justice that will, at a minimum, swing the SCOTUS to the Left.

Trap laid and they walked right into it!
