I hope you are half wrong. I want the "nuclear" option to be fired successfully to preempt such tactics from being used for the next picks. It is the "constitutional" option, but its effect on the libs will be nuclear if it lets us replace Stevens with someone like JRB.

We need to keep on pushing 'our' RHINOs, but yet never miss a chance to replace them with someone principled.
