Yeah, what's with these people. I suspect senility that a guy like Warner would respect Senate "tradition" while judges continue to take an axe to the Constitution. I heard a statement by him a couple of weeks ago that he was hesitant to get rid of the filibuster, in the event that some day the GOP becomes the minority. What an idiot. First, it's defeatist to not do something when you're in the majority because you fully expect to one day be in the minority, and secondly, if the Republicans ever tried to filibuster a Democrat judicial nominee, the majority Dems would go nuclear without batting an eye.
I remember when I was a kid taking Civics a Senate motion for cloture required 67 votes. Didn't a 'Rat-controlled Senate change that to a mere 60 votes? Looks to me that the 'Rats have already tampered with the filibuster. I don't ever remember hearing anyone denouncing the end of the House 'filibuster' in the late 1800s. What a shame it would be to turn our legislative branch of government into a body where the majority rules.
