It's bunk. The ONE Clinton filibusters for Republicans broke after they had their say. Dems can filibuster for extra debate but not forever.

And the issue isn't all judge nomineees, it's apellate court nominees and the filibuster is unprecedented. They have have stopped 10 of 34 nominees. All of the nominees stopped have outstanding records and are recommended by the ABA.

The Democrats are taking down the filibuster all by themselves. They can stop the nuclear option by voting for cloture on Tuesday.
