He could not have made it more clear on the air today. If he does not follow through, his political career is over. He left no wiggle room this time for what he will do. Folks, we are finally going to change this court.

Agreed. He couldn't have more clearly stated that if the filibuster is used based on a nominee's legal philosophy, and not qualifications, character, or ethical questions, then he would fully support the rules change.

O'Connor has announced. Rhenquist will probalby be next. Ginsburg is reported to be in less than good health and Stevens is 85 years old.

Wouldn't it be great to think that you could send a case to the Supreme Court and know that the judges would rule on what the Constitution meant when they wrote it instead of this "living document" and "laws of other nations" crap?

"Folks, we are finally going to change this court."

Don't we need 1 more vote? 44 Dems + 6 possibly still traitorous Dwarves + Specter (who I assume will betray us if his vote is critical)= 51= Dem victory on fillibuster. By my count, we need one more Dwarf to come forward, even if this one is solid.
