CBC protest

This raised my eyebrows:
Democrats generally cheered, and Republicans groused, when a bipartisan group of senators crafted a compromise on judicial nominations last month. But with the Senate now confirming several conservative nominees whom Democrats had blocked for years, some liberals are questioning the wisdom of the deal and fretting about what comes next.

"Our problem with the compromise is the price that was paid," Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said yesterday. She and other Congressional Black Caucus members plan to march into the Senate today to protest the impending confirmation of Janice Rogers Brown.
So the Congressional Black Caucus is out protesting the confirmation of a Black judge. The CBC isn't about race, it's about ideology. They should just do everyone a favor and change it's name to the Congressional Black Democratic Caucus.
