Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Senate Democrats must commit themselves to blocking any and all nominees until Bush nominates someone whose independence and integrity are beyond reproach.
  • This, more than the midterms, will tell us where precisely Congress stands.

    Will the Democratic leadership really stand on principle and deny the President his (doubtless unqualified) choice, whoever or whatever that choice ultimately proves?

    Cynicism leads me to think they'll approve whoever President Bush sends.

    But that slender thread of irrational hope let's me think they'll actually start governing here.
