Bull. The Senate Republicans raised the white flag, else that filibuster would be running 24/7 for a year now. Had he chosen that fight, the Slave Party thugs would have had to cave on any number of issues. Bush has yet to veto a single bill.

2. To go 24/7 from what I've read is MUCH harder on the Repubs than the Dems. Basically, only one Dem would have to be there (they could rotate) while all the Repubs or 50 I guess would have to be there. I'm not exactly sure on the particulars of this, perhaps other Freepers could back me up, but generally, this is tougher on the Repubs than the Dems.

Nonsense. They would have to be on call in case there was a move but that doesn't mean that they couldn't sleep or eat. The issue is that important because it comes down to who controls the Senate on a whole raft of issues.

Even if the case is as you suggest, so what?
