It’s time to give democrats a taste of their own.
FILIBUSTER JUDGES. FILIBUSTER APPOINTMENTS. FILIBUSTER LEGISLATION.
Fight them on everything and on every level!
I understand the sentiment. But while the Republican Senators have, in theory, enough votes to defeat cloture motions, filibusters should be used sparingly, if at all. If they try to filibuster everything, they'll quickly have the RINOs bail on them. And, of course, they'd be viewed as sore losers and obstructionists by large portions of the population, to possibly even more disastrous effect in the 2010 elections.
Make no mistake: the GOP should be obstructionists on issues that matter. But some subtlety is required. They should keep their filibuster powder dry for major issues, such as the threatened loss of the secret ballot in union elections. If filibusters are used indiscriminately, they'll fail.
