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

How so? I know of no filibuster that has never ended. So if anything, it only delays the tyranny.

So the Republicans have defeated the Democrat filibuster of judges?
