If I was Sean, I would have asked Graham why the Republicans would want to maintain the ability to filibuster judges in the future when they hadn't thought of doing it to prevent Ginsberg from ascending to the USSC! She passed 97-3! There sure as heck were more than 3 Rep Senators during the 90s....

If the Reps wouldn't filibuster Ginsberg, then they won't filibuster anyone in the future.

Besides if the Reps won't do something that *might* make the MSM mad at them (pull nuclear option) when they are in the majority, they sure aren't going to do it when they are in the minority.

exactly, hansel. And why is it that NARAL is happy?

Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said her group was "heartened that the crisis has been averted and the right to filibuster preserved for upcoming Supreme Court nominations. We are confident that a Supreme Court nominee who won't even state a position on Roe v. Wade is the kind of 'extraordinary circumstance' this deal envisions."
