A lot of this guy's logic comes from this statement, which is seriously misleading. The fact is that it's the Dems who have already dropped the 'Nuclear Option', insisting on a super-majority for judicial confirmation. The Repubs are just reacting, no matter how it sounds in the MSM echo chamber.
He didn't address how in the past, a filibuster required staying up, speaking. This crap has gone on for far too long. They would have worn themselves out.
This is just a temper tantrum. Holding out on a quarrum (like when the Chicken D's left Texas to avoid voting on the 200x redistricting).
