If McCain wins, do the Democrats gain a seat in the Senate?

Governor of Texas gets to appoint a replacement, unless he is up for election this year, just like when someone dies like in Missouri a couple of years ago.

All that proves is that Nixon was a dumbass at picking his choices and getting them by the strongly Democratic Senate.

Besides, look at the number of hours of abortion questioning that Roberts and Alito got, and the scare tactics after Gonzalez v Carhart was decided.

You used Roe v. Wade as an example of how Democrats use the courts to advance their policy positions. Considering the Democrats had nothing to do with the filing of the lawsuit and had appointed only 3 out of the 9 justices on the court, your argument fails.

Which party blocked Robert Bork's nomination?

Your question in no way relates to what I was saying. You're now simply desperately trying to divert the discussion to an area where you think you have a chance to win.

Who do you think you're kidding; when the continued existence of Roe is directly due to Ted Kennedy and his ranting, they're responsible.

So what you're trying to say is that the Democrats used the legislature to keep the policies they wanted in place? hahaha.

Eskimo, did the public vote gay marriage into law? Or did the courts decide the case?

We can argue whether it was good law or bad law all day and it won't change the fact that the liberals can not get gay marriage put in place by the people so they went to the courts.

If equal rights guaranteed by the Constitution are too liberal for you, consider moving to an Islamist theocracy like Saudi Arabia.

Constitution > tyrany of the majority.

PJ likes to ignore this when the issues don't fit his particular ideology.
