I don't think they are defending her as much as holding onto the hope that there may be a change of mind. I doubt that it will be soon, or even sweeping, but there could be some movement there.

Here's a story I saw not long ago. It isn't apples-to-apples, but I think it applies a bit:

I'm not willing to write off any anti-gun person as long as s/he still listens to me, or will actually go to the range with me. As long as the lines of communication are open, there's a chance. I admit it is a very slim chance in Kagan's case, but a chance is all you can hope for.

Could y'all please give the Cheney comments a rest? No one would ever confuse me with being a (D) or a liberal, but those kinds of comments are why I mostly avoid the "other" gun boards and spend most of my time here.

I'm with mgood on the baby steps and Nitrogen on not making assumptions, but we've also got to keep both eyes peeled, and not let her sneak behind us to pull any dirty tricks.
