Reid's "Petty Partisanship"

The LA Times urged Senators to confirm Judge John Roberts and launched a pre-emptive strike on Democrats who will oppose him:

It will be a damning indictment of petty partisanship in Washington if an overwhelming majority of the Senate does not vote to confirm John G. Roberts Jr. to be the next chief justice of the United States. As last week's confirmation hearings made clear, Roberts is an exceptionally qualified nominee, well within the mainstream of American legal thought, who deserves broad bipartisan support. If a majority of Democrats in the Senate vote against Roberts, they will reveal themselves as nothing more than self-defeating obstructionists.

Here's hoping the Times editorial board lays it on thick for Reid's "petty partisanship."
