I'm relieved. It would have set a very bad precedent, one very detrimental to the health of the country, to intimidate Congressmen/women to vote out a nominee on the basis of allegations and an aggressive smear campaign. Rule of law =/= Court of public opinion... I think he showed he has the passion and stamina to handle very difficult issues that will have to be weighed in the courts, and this whole thing will probably make him a better judge... but I'm just a voter, so what do I know...
