Let's hope they have the gravitas to bring this up again, and this time, use it.

The full Senate must vote on the resolution before it can take effect.
Unless I'm missing something, this article just states that the resolution passed out of the Committee. Did the full Senate ever vote on it? And what's that business about filibustering mean - can the opposition filibuster a rules change?

Good post from the past. The idea failed because RINOs like Chafee, Collins and Snowe defected--but that should not be a problem with little Tommy no longer there to be deeply troubled by the idea of reform.

Interesting to read this dated last year and realize one of the judges Daschle & Co. tried to block from even being confirmed was apparently appointed by the President as a "recess appointment": Pryor. :)
