Is that any worse than Landreiu and Nelson (both of them) selling
their health care bill votes in the Senate?



Yes, much worse! They didn't hold up important nominees. They held up a
flawed Senate bill. The "consessions" they got were good for their states,
or at least they thought they were. How is holding up judges' appointments
good for the country?????
