I support fillibustering. I'd like it to be back up to 66.

Nothing says "minority rights" like reading the telephone book!

I agree with you.

However, I suspect it will be irrelevant as a number of Democrats in the Senate are rethinking fillibustering Bush's nominees.

They saw what happened to Dashle.

Actually, there are two distinct camps of Senate Democrats,

One fells that the states they represent are so heavily Democrat that they have a free ride. They will push for fillibusters.

A second ground is distinctly aware that they can be beaten, and many of they are willing to compromise,
