But the Senate shouldn't stop with filibusters over judges. It should strive to nuke the filibuster for all legislative purposes.

It seems that the LA Times has a bigger agenda here!

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind doing away with the filibuster for legislation. Little known fact - up until the Senate rules changes of 1806 the majority could vote to end debate. Filibusters really are about minority rule anyway.
