Look what a lack of spine got us

As progressives, lets expect a little bit more out of Pat Leahy and the rest of the Democrats next time Bush nominates a Supreme Court Justice.  Senate Democrats should have rewarded Roberts' filibustering of the Judiciary Committee hearings with a filibuster of their own.  With the court's pendulum and existing civil rights laws hanging in the balance, a little more Democratic assertiveness in the future would be nice, to put it nicely.
