* A: We didn't see such tactics during the Warren Court or other eras because the politicians in control thought it too unseemly. Today's GOP is happy to pursue this route today, to use Gingrich's famous phrase, "because we can." Now that's a party of principle.

I submit that we didn't see it in the Warren Court era because conservatives were in the minority during that era. It is only in the last 10 years that conservatives have become the majority.
