Wonder if Frist and Co. will *finally* get serious about breaking a filibuster. I'm hoping they've just been waiting for a "diverse list" to us as P.R. to present to the American public -- Hispanic, black woman, white woman, etc. I'm going to be discouraged beyond words if they let Rogers go down without a fight too.

Thanks for posting this, I always enjoy Dr. Sowell.

At the very least, the Republican weenies could defend her. After all, we know exactly what democrats would say.

"This is a high-tech lynching."

Somehow, the mealy-mouthed Washington Republicans have an aversion to strong language.

My guess is that the real weakness is in the Republican Conference. There are some RINOS who only pretend to be against a filibuster.

Yes, but will you be surprised?

I'm just waiting to see who the male version of "Anita Hill" is going to be! I could just imagine some rapper... or other riff raff or other being trotted out..."I knowed her, she was mah hoe and she left a pubic hair on mah coke spoon man!"(sarcasm only...not trying to demean the justice in any way!)
