A timid and tepid pick by Mona Charen

Interesting statistic mentioned here for all of us who moan about partisan politics:

"I heard an NPR host a couple of weeks ago describing the nomination process as 'polarized.' Some professor agreed that liberals vote only for liberals and conservatives only for conservatives. Nope. Conservative senators have, for the most part, voted to confirm liberal justices. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was confirmed by a vote of 96-3. Justice Stephen Breyer was approved by a vote of 87-9."
