Ted Kennedy and some of his colleagues have come under fire for their behavior during the recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Judge Samuel Alito.

Question: John, what do you think of the idea of “saving” a nomination of Alberto Gonzales as Supreme Court Justice for a possible open seat after a theoretical Democratic victory in the ’06 elections?
