The Republicans would never hold up this many nominees, and if they did the rats would change the rules in a blink of the eye.
The only reason the left is blocking the judicial vote is to deny Religious freedom. To the democrats, only Satanists and sinners are worthy of the bench. The Bush nominees have moral values, and morality will not be tolerated in the U.S.S.A.
This editorial is just wishful thinking on the part of the liberal scumbag(s) who wrote it. There are, of course, a few things that the editorial neglected to mention:
1. Never before have so many judicial nominations been filibustered so brazenly - - nothing in history comes close.
2. When, someday, there is a majority Democrat Senate and a Democrat President, the Republicans will repay in kind what the rats are doing to their nominations now.
3. The shameless Democrats, those same scumbags who invented the art of the smear now known colloquially as "Borking" and who have continued to refine that art for nearly two decades, WILL "go nuclear" when the Republicans filibuster their judicial nominations and then laugh in the faces of the Republicans as they do it.
The Republicans at this point have absolutely no choice but to "go nuclear".
Those Editors may not care whether Senators (or judges) deliberately violate the Constitution. But we do. And most Americans do. And that's why Senator Frist should break the back of the Democrats' obstruction, with the aid of all Republicans who also believe in the Constitution.

Congratulations to the pinhead that wrote this garbage. That is is stupidest thing I've ever read in an editorial. To heck with the American people. Filibusters are for Democrats to protect themselves from the Republicans. Wow. What a deal.
"Harry Reid of Nevada has threatened to thoroughly gum up the workings of the Senate"
Reid's already doing that .. so why is he threatening ..??
They should ignore any "filibuster" and simply bring the nominees to a vote.
A filibuster cannot be had on judicial votes according to current Senate rules.
When Frist has the votes to end judicial filibusters, the libs will cave before letting it happen.It is close to happening now
Not to worry, some pubs would never betray their liberal friends.
None, zero, nada, zilch, never happened....
Very rare indeed.
It would be great if Frist forced the Dimms to really filibuster instead of ending the Senate session and allowing the "filibuster" to resume in the morning.
The Dems want to filibuster...make them do it!
It's not a "handful", that's a point the Republicans need to get across loud and clear. It's an unprecedented third of all of Bush's judicial nominees to the federal bench, which are the only judicial appointments that really matter.
The Constitution only provides that the Senate will "advise and consent." It doesn't say that they will hold a vote of the full Senate.
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.
