U.S. Senate doesn't need to go nuclear

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Doesn't need to go nuclear?

HAH!

The republicans don't have the chlorophyll to go photosynthetic.

So far all it has been is pillow biting while the demonicrats have topped the entire lot. Sure, they are great at things that require they do nothing like letting the AWB sunset, but actual movement?

Again, HAH!

To even believe the Nuclear Option was ever really considered leaves me to wonder, who is bringing the detonator? Santa Claus? Or maybe the Tooth Fairy?

[Mike Darancette]

Or, the GOP could let the ACLU pick the judges.

Yup, make them actually filibuster. When they stop talking, call the question.
In the meantime, the C-SPAN cameras and mikes should be able to catch a lot of gaffes from the demonRATs, especially in the wee-hours of the morning when they're rambling on sleep-deprived.

[Catphish]

Well, I don't particulary care for a judge to be "loyal" rather I want to see them generally conservative and apply a stict fealty to the rule of law.

The ones being filibustered are the most likely to rule in such a manner, which, of course is why they're being filibustered in the first place.

it would vaporize a longstanding Senate prerogative - unlimited debate

The editors of this paper are idiots. Where's the debate?
