If the filibuster was wrong when they used it, why is it ok now?

Who said it was wrong? The DemocRATs never filibustered because they did not have to. They successfully stopped important conservative judicial appointments without them. Have you forgotten what this bunch is and how they are destroying this country? They have the judiciary at the federal level by the throat. Defence of liberty is no vice.

They threatened it - they used the FB as a tool whether they actually had to do it or not. That is how we GOT McCain and his gang of 14. Most conservatives, myself included, were incensed that the FB was even considered an option based on our constitutional grounds.

My opinion has not changed. We do not need another gang of 14. I do not feel that the FB should be on the table for judicial nominations. You apparently disagree. I simply cannot stomach the argument that the defense of liberty is served by sacrificing constitutional principles.
