Senator Bill Frist (R-Tenn) told some Republican activists that Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito is a "nightmare" for liberal Democrats. The news article on AOL went on to say that while Alito is a "nightmare" for liberals, no Democrat has said that he will oppose Alito on the floor of the Senate.
That's why Alito's a "nightmare" to the Democrats. If they were to try and filibuster Mr. Alito, the Democratic party would lose the '06 elections and the '08 elections big time. The American people are sick and tired of the democrats pulling their little "we filibuster" stunt everytime a conservative judge is nominated. Except of course for those few whiny Democrats who are out of the mainstream.
