"I believe Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and John Warner all would vote in favor of a Senate rules change if their Democratic counterparts broke with the Gang and joined a filibuster."

Would you, say, stake your life on that assumption?

It doesn't matter. The nation would not stand for a Supreme Court nomination to be filibustered. Period.

The Nation will do exactly as the main stream media tells them to do.

Should the Republicans fillibuster a S.C. nominee, the m.s.m. will incite the Nation to riot.

Should the Democrats fillibuster a S.C. nominee, the m.s.m will remain quite as a mouse in a church house.

In this case it will be the Democrats doing the fillibustering.
