What's this whole "debate" thing about? The Democrats aren't debating, just stonewalling.

My suggestion is to simply end the "gentleman's filibuster" that currently exists and go back to the old-time, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" kind of filibuster. If they want to stall, let'em stand up and talk for the whole time.

While Democrats Claim They Have Confirmed More Than 200 Of President Bush's Judicial Nominees, 10 Of The 52 Nominees To The Circuit Court Of Appeals Were Filibustered. (Jesse J. Holland, "Senate Confirms First Judge Of Bush's Second Term," The Associated Press, 4/11/05)

I imagine that the issue with these 10 is that they will change the balance of power in their respective courts, or they are in a court of great presence in which their presence and power could derail many liberal causes.

Does anyone have a list of the courts to which they're nominated and the balance of power in those courts?

That's powerful.
It needs to be published far and wide.
We need to BURY the Democrats with facts like this.
Yes ... Democrats DO piss me off.
