Glenn, commentaries like this are one reason I love your site. You sum up, better than I ever could, the Republicans love of their own victimology and imagined superiority. What's even more amazing is that they also attribute those same characteristics to their opponents, and use those characteristics to slam their opponents, e.g. accusing liberals of acting like victims and thinking they're superior to everyone else.
When I ask my mother how all those "liberal" judges got appointed to the courts, seeing as how we've had Republican presidents for the 20 of the past 30 years (and Republicans blocked a lot of Clinton's appointments, so he got fewer than the average for a two-term president), she sputters incoherently about how "they all change" because the Republicans who appointed them "aren't really conservatives", and we need "real conservative Republicans" to truly seize control of the courts from liberals. It's amazing to listen to.
