Another option would be to make them actually filibuster rather than just bending over every time they say they will.

The issue is the legality of the filibuster of nominees (encroachment of separation of powers). To make them filibuster just endorses the legality of the filibuster. The root cause is the rogue Senate. The fix is to restore the Senate to its original form.

Yes, it would be nice if they really had a filibuster! They should have held it into the weekend then the dems would have to chose whether to stay and fight Bush's judicial nominees or go to Iowa!
