BUMP for excellence in posting!
Yes, the plan is to stop only filibusters of judicial nominees, not legislation.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the idea was to eliminate filibustering ONLY on appointments? The aticle seems to imply that all filibustering will be eliminated.

BTW I am in favor of filibustering (not on appoinments) because it eliminates what John Stuart Mills called the "tyranny of the majority".

By the way, I was watching "People for the American Way" discuss their ad campaign on CSPAN the other night. They too are pushing the idea that Republicans want to eliminate the entire filibuster (that would be fine by me).

I don't subscribe to the "tyranny of the majority" idea because the so called remedy is a "tyranny of the minority". If they're both to be considered "problems" it seems clear to me that the former is preferable because in the case of the latter the only thing that changes is that you have more people being subjected to "tyranny".
