No, the best way to kill the filibuster in THIS Senate on THESE nominees is to use the nuclear option to end forever the application of any filibuster to any judicial nominee. It's last use of the nuclear option was by Senator Byrd. And it works.

The Democrats in the Senate (Zell Miller and John Breaux sometimes excepted) are a cancer on the body politic. Since they cannot be removed by surgery, they need to be isolated and attacked. Dr. Bill Frist should have gotten that point months ago. He should do it now, or risk being consigned to the ashheap of history like Trent ("Vacant") Lott.

The NUKE option as written above sounds dangerous because,"It would make the Senate function like the House."

Would it be wise to alter the Senate in this direction?
