Carrol,
     I am not going to debate your point in general
But, if I remember correctly, Paul Douglas
(codiscoverer of the Cobb-Douglas production

      However beholden they are, many current
Dem senators are prepared to try to block the
judicial appointments.  How willing may well be a
matter of backbone.
