This looks like a reasonable article. Nice to see the Senate Republicans showing a little respect for the Constitution.

And when the Democrats do it?

Oh I’m sure they will be all about golden rules too. /s

Lee said the GOP treads lightly when it comes to filibustering judicial nominations, in part, for fear of antagonizing Democrats in the event that Republicans win the majority.

That is foolishness. The dems always "Bork" our judges.

...and that’s precisely why they say this week’s filibuster of D.C. Circuit Court nominee Caitlin Halligan is not a harbinger of a freeze on President Barack Obama’s judicial nominations.

Until the next one.

Democrats blocked Reagan's appointments. Republicans blocked Clinton's appointments. Democrats blocked Bush's appointments and now Republicans are blocking Obama's. Anyone who thinks that the Democrats won't block the next Republican president's appointments are deluding themselves.

And WHEN EXACTLY do Democrats “tread lightly???” Those bastards are NEVER afraid to stop a Republican, conservative nominee are they little Miss Lindsay???? You spineless wimps are sickening.
