I like CWW's comment in #47:

>>The nuclear option is what the Dems did with the filibusters. He also told me that Robert Byrd changed the same rule 3 times on filibusters and that Trent Lott had done so twice. So there is precedent for the change in the Senate rules.

So really, the Senate must "Go Constitutional" if the Dems continue to "Go Nuclear".

We're pretty much in complete agreement.

Why, yes, freedomposter, you are correct! It is the "constitutional option", is it not? Returning to the 51-vote majority as intended by our Founders? A fair and simple up-or-down vote?

;)

Yes. And I don't care if it's called "going postal" - - the bottom line is that the Constitution must be saved, and that can only be done by judges who have some respect for it. That means that Bush's nominees MUST get confirmed.
