The problem as I see it, and it is selected here as much as it is in the national media, is that one side cares only about advancing their agenda. In this case, they will (their hope) get a conservative Supreme Court locked up for quite a while.

That is the goal. Nothing else matters. It is the win at any and all costs mentality. See Big Time College football and basketball for a similar view.

Not sure about how fixated the other side is on winning as they did demand and receive resignations from Al Franken for his behavior. Right now, the left can play the character card with impunity because the right has abandoned any semblance of caring about that.

What concerns me is that the left has similar bedrock wants that will over-ride character.
