I am certain that with the Samuel Alito nomination, we are going to hear lot more about filibusters during confirmation hearings and the dreaded "nuclear option" (i.e. eliminte the judicial filibuster from the rules of order).
I think this would be a good time to review my proposed solution: "the bioweapon option." That is, none of these "pocket filibusters," where 41 votes means "move on to the next thing." No, the GOP should demand a real, talk-till-you-drop filibuster. A 24 hours a day filibuster. And shut down all business until the judge receives a vote.
That would take some guts, and guts is whatwe need right now.
That is all.
