WASHINGTON -- Anticipating a Supreme Court confirmation battle this summer, a conservative group was to begin airing television commercials Wednesday that feature two of the Republicans' most prominent critics and charge that Democrats "will attack anyone the president nominates" to a vacancy.
"A nominee deserves real consideration, instead of instant attacks," says the ad, which Progress for America has set to run on cable television nationally through July 1.

The commercial opens with a picture of Howard Dean, the Democratic Party chairman, while an announcer recalls his recent claim that many Republicans "never made an honest living in their lives."
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada is shown next, along with a reminder that he has recently called Bush both a "loser" and a "liar" in recent appearances.
