I'm with you. I'm a little leery about what will happen to the fillibuster rule on legislation if the Dems take over agin (God forbid), if the republicans win with the "nuclear" option, but I dont think Frist has much choice at this point. In for a dime, in for a dollar.

I have always opposed the filibuster, whether for legislation or now, judges, since about the time I learned to read. Within the Constitution, I think the majority government should have its way and day. If they F up, vote them out. It works OK in the rest of the Anglospere, without tyranny, and it would work here. It is an accountability thingie, with no excuses.
