This crap will only grow if the Republicans don't enforce the Constitutional option. The only thing that Democrats will understand that if they persist on this type of behavior, we will drop the hammer. New rules should be set up in the Senate floor that time limits will be set for all filibusters. Nonsense.
If the Democrats want to filibuster, then MAKE THEM DO IT.
Standing.
On the floor of the Senate.
24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
The more they talk, the deeper they dig themselves.
Smiley,
Great minds think alike. :o)

It's the right strategy. There are enough Dem votes to confirm with an up/down vote, and there are vulnerable Dems who need the Black vote. While Dems filibuster, attack those vulnerable DEMS back home. Ultimately, the GOP won't need the nuclear option- they'll have enough votes for cloture.
