"After a meeting of the group Wednesday, DeWine said a filibuster against Miers from either Democrats or conservative Republicans is "highly unlikely." . DeWine said he came away from the meeting "impressed." He is part of the Gang of 14, a bipartisan group of senators formed this year to limit the use of the filibuster - a parliamentary tactic that allows a minority of senators to block votes - against judicial nominees."

I can't sleep. My daughter resides on Grand Cayman Island. It's getting nasty there. Wilma is STRONG, but still south of them... a turn north will be devastating.
