Well, debate over Bush's judicial nominees so far blocked by the Democratic minority via the filibuster has now started.

Looks like, at the moment, in the end, that there will be a "rule" change ending the filibuster.

BTW, I see nowhere in the Constitution that allows the filibuster in the first place.

That being said, the Dems have vowed to bring to a halt all work in the Senate as a result of the filibuster being ended.

Psst! Go for it guys!!

Make my political day.

Has Harry Reid checked his Nevada poll numbers lately?

Doesn't seem like it.
