If GWB had nominated someone for SCOTUS who was actually filibustered, then you'd have a case, maybe. But as it is, it's a total non-issue. There was no filibuster, so there's no need for a nuke option

Short memory?

Who has GW nominated for the SCOTUS? Roberts-no filibuster. Miers-no filibuster. And yet, it's a columnist's fault that GW didn't pick someone who MIGHT have been filibustered? That's pathetic. Talk about no accountability.

It wasn't the RINOs anyway. It was so-called conservatives like Frist and Hatch who whined on and on and on for months--years even--letting Estrada and others dangle, without even trying to do something about it. They never even forced a real filibuster. But that's Will's fault, too, I guess.

Third, I agree with Will on the constitutionality and wisdom of it. He's correct. And by the way, who was it that voted FOR Bader Ginsburg and Breyer? Those same gutless republicans who now want to blame the gang of 14 for their troubles. What a bunch of BS.
