But let’s see if Republicans have enough Senate votes to filibuster judges.

Is that gang of 14 rule still in effect, that filibusters can only be done in extraordinary circumstances?

Of course Democrats agreed to that when the split was 55 Republican 45 Democrat. Is it 58 Democrats now, including Lieberman and Bernie Sanders? And did Al Franken steal that Minnesota election yet?

Republicans play by the rules and vote to confirm if a nominee is qualified.

Democrats whine if the nominee does not pass their ideological litmus tests.

Are John McCain and Lindsey Graham still senators?
