Betcha he does.
Propaganda fully blown, defending the abuse of the original concept of filibuster by a KKK grand wizard, obviously very familiar with the value of rhetoric, of propaganda, and the usefulness of hiding himself under the cloak of legality.
Old wizards never die...they just join the Senate.
He is the Wizzard of Odd.
Who is muzzling debate? I thought the whole issue was getting judicial nominations out on to the floor for an Up or Down vote -- which, I assume, would be preceeded by some debate.
Advise and consent do seem to be in the Consititution, but try as I might, I can't find any penumbras and emmanations.
Unfortunately, the Senator did not see that movie, as he had to attend a cross burning on the "poor side of town".
His statement is for the BIRDS .
Senator Byrd is playing a little game with himself. He wants to see how much is lies and demagoguery can accomplish. He's getting on and years and wants to see if he still's got his old stuff.
I wonder if Senator Byrd ever offered his lynchees the option to filibuster before he voted to hang them.
"Majority rules" has worked for two centuries for presidential appointments. Fillibusters were never intended to maliciously torpedo judicial appointments one after another.
Hope the senate Republicans have the guts to stand up to this old goat and his herd. I'm not too optomistic.

Simple math can produce the answer.
Byrd=Grand Kleagle=KKK=nazi tactics=da fuhrer=Hitler
Therefore, Byrd=Hitler
Doesn't this idiot have a cross burning to attend?
And many times the filibuster was used to block civil rights legislation. A former KKK member is the last person the Democrats should put forward arguing about the wonders of the filibuster.
This drivel gives a whole new meaning to the word hyperbole.
How odd that Senator Byrd fails to mention that in 1975 he voted (as part of a simple majority) to change the filibuster requirement from 67 votes to 60.
If you drive through West VA, you can't help but note that everything that's worth anything is named after the Honorable (KKK) Robert Byrd. DO YOU THINK IF WE RENAMED THE WHOLE STATE AFTER HIM HE WOULD JUST GO AWAY????
It is long-past time for him to just "fade away". He is such a horse's "pa-two-tee"!!!
