She's a dimwit, just like all the others, if she doesn't realize that the filibuster is a power grab by the senate to declare for itself who is too extreme to deserve an up or down vote.

She's hurting her own self interests by not recognizing that the filibusters concocted by Kennedy, Schumer, Clinton, et. al. are the core problem.

Maybe she can include some discussion, even a line or two, about the filibusters in her next article. Otherwise, I'll view her with the same disdain as I have for anybody else that ignores the gorilla in the room.

Do you realize you just tarred the WH and the President? And of course the Senate. None of whom wanted a fight, so they all agreed to pick a nominee that could survive the filibuster, that is, the President had to get 60 votes, to get his nominee.

I blame McCain myself as the biggest Republican facilitator.

Like President Bush, who sidestepped the issue?
