Novak: Reid Approves of Martinez for Supreme Court

Via Human Events:

"We have had approximately 10 members of the Supreme Court that come from the United States Senate over the years," Reid said in June 2005. "There are people who serve in the Senate now, who are Republicans, who I think would be outstanding Supreme Court members." Reid named three Republican senators: Mike DeWine (Ohio), Mel Martinez (Fla.) and Mike Crapo (Idaho). A South Carolina newspaper reported that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) also received his imprimatur.

So a lifetime job on the Supreme Court for Mel Martinez is OK with Senate Majority Leader and passionate Democrat Harry Reid. Does this suggest that Democrats fear what an RNC Chairman Mel Martinez might accomplish? And if Martinez is OK with Reid, shouldn't Republicans be a wee bit more concerned about Martinez?
