Along the same topical lines as the post below, James Joyner notes an editorial concerning the nomination of Bill Pryor and also a proposal to limit the tenure of federal judges.
All of it is worth reading.
James notes, correctly, I would argue, the following about Pryor (who, like James, I have met on a few occassions–indeed, mostly the same occassions, I think)):
The fact that the likes of Pryor are being fillibustered belies the argument that President Bush is sending up crazy ideologues who must be stopped by the most drastic means available.
I ma convinced that in the case of Pryor the only issue for the Democrats is abortion, given that Pryor is a devote Cathlolic. His record does not support the thesis that he would be an ideological activist on the bench.
