Uh, I think that is nuculer. :)

I think it's knucklehead, as in, "Senate Republicans have all gone knucklehead on us."

Should be interesting. History in the making.

My guess is that it will end in a compromise where the Democrats end up giving more than taking.

Of course, once the "nucular" option is exercised, the Democrats will have lost the filibuster. And then Bush would be able to get just about whomever he wants through confirmation. Count on threats from the Democrats to walk out, etc. Don't know if this will happen. But it will be something to tell your grandchildren about.
