'Democrats charge that the GOP parliamentary tactic is unfair and have vowed to try to strip out the measure during floor action today. Debate in the Senate began last night.
"This administration doesn't want to play by the rules," said Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). "They don't have the votes to be able to do it one way, so they're going to break up the system, write their own rules and try to do it another way."' ....

They haven't beaten the rap for treasonous Parisian activity in the Vietnam (I was in Vietnam, you know) War! They aren't allowed to write their own rules, yet!"

You mean like Democrats not having the votes to block Bush's judge nominees in a floor vote and thus resorting to a never used filibuster to block judges from being confirmed?
