I want Dodd as majority leader--he's a solid, principled liberal from a safe state (unlike Nevada or South Dakota...) who's not easy to slander as such. I used to think Schumer would be ideal, but he's just too glib and corrupt. I know Dodd's in some bad pockets too, but he's won me by campaigning on the Constitution and leading the (evidently doomed, unless the House grows a pair) push against sanctioned domestic spying. <BR/><BR/>Are there any Democratic judges under 50 out there? The big problem with Republicans having the presidency for 20 of the last 28 years--and blocking so many judges during the '90s--is that I'd imagine the bench is pretty thin.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427208386709900367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859126.post-53929956131663938302008-02-12T20:07:00.000-08:002008-02-12T20:07:00.000-08:00Harry Reid is, for the most part, doing a shitty j...Harry Reid is, for the most part, doing a shitty job as Majority Leader.
