Let's see--southern states, and the nominees are a black woman and a gay black man? I wonder if the senators were sandbaging--seeing if they could sucker Obama into nominating these people, so the senators could then make a show of opposing them.

Probably. If so, I hope it backfires on them. Idiots.

republicans are not only the enemy of the poor, but increasingly the middle class.

When you eliminate corporate taxes and taxes on the wealthy and business owners, you have to make it up somewhere, and that somewhere is increase sales and property taxes which hit the middle classes hard.
