"in their best interest to preserve the filibuster, since they will be in the minority someday"

The letter writer is a sneak and a liar.

When the Democrats are in the majority, THEY will change the parliamentary rule and laugh right in the Republicans' faces.

Anybody who thinks that the party which invented the art of the smear now known as "Borking", and the party which attempted the "high-tech lynching" of Clarence Thomas, and the same party which has now taken the unprecedented step of routinely filibustering lower court nominations would NOT "go nuclear" if the shoes were on the other feet is a hopeless naive.

It is the Democrats who have ratcheted down the judicial confirmation process to the low point we have today and it is absolutely necessary that the Republicans respond appropriately. The future of the party depends on it. No joke.
