Is there a way to overcome this via a Senate procedure? is there a nuclear option for this one?

I heard that if the rats block the bill like they seem to have done, the Repulican leadership will hold another vote in which a simple majority (> 50) will win. I heard dingy Harry whining about this rule last night.

No- no one questions the validity of the fillibuster for ordinary legislation. The nuclear option's reasoning is that it doesn't apply to judicial nominations.

The Senate blocked oil drilling in an Alaska wildlife refuge Wednesday, The Senate also blocked Katrina aid and anti-torture measures. These are good things.
Funny how the MSM will focus on one small part of the picture when it suits its purpose.
To: Blood of Tyrants
Here we go again: Our own elected sooonators are screwings us again.
Nuke the morons, time to fight our own "insurgency" and cleanup the House!!!
To: MNJohnnie
Puuhhlese, Frist isn't going to do that to that why that would go against the genteel nature of the Senate and might upset "his good friends from across the isle."

weekend drives along the countryside. What are they going to do use them to drive through their ugly desert and count oil wells.
To: Blood of Tyrants
Gee....isn't more domestic oil a security issue?
Why do so many polititians hate their own country?!
And why do American voters continue to vote for half-wits who don't represent them?
I guess they get what they deserve.

To: jveritas
The filibuster is a vote taken to end debate and go to a vote. Frist can FORCE the 'Rats to "debate" until someone gives up.

Quit whining. Quit surrendering with out a fight. Some of you Freepers are EXACTLY why nothing gets done. You always advocate surrender the minute things get tough. Get off your butts and FIGHT for once. NO Clouter means NO CHRISTMAS BREAK. MAKE THEM STAY!
