That is a bit of a half truth Magik, shame on you. More seats have been filled in the last two years then any two year period when the republicans controlled congress under Clinton. It is pretty disingenuous to state that democrats have been blockading Bush's judge picks.
One bright note in the big rep win last night, is that when something goes wrong in the next two years (and something will, it always does). The republicans will not be able to blame the democrats. Also with control of both houses the republicans can, and most likely will, push things too far to the right for the tastes of the big squishy middle in the next two years, making Bush's re-election bid much harder.
