Sensenbrenner snubbed by democrat officials' partisanship

2006, Sensenbrenner loses chairmanship of House Judiciary Committee
2008, Republicans lose white house
2009, Sensenbrenner frozen out of seat on federal nominating commission for Wisconsin. The commission recommends individuals for vacant federal judge seats and US Attorney jobs.

Sensenbrenner is unhappy at a blown chance at bi-partisanship. It would have been a good opportunity, and a sign of respect towards Sensenbrenner from Kohl and Feingold, to not freeze him out. Sensenbrenner has experience in the area.

Thoughts?

Perhaps (admitting ignorance on this subject), Kohl and Feingold are merely freezing Sensenbrenner out and not Republicans in general. If anybody knows more, please inform me/us.
