Nice work as usual John,

I see this situation as being nothing more than both sides agreeing to set the bar at 60 votes for any legislation that might be controversial.

In short a cop out and lack of leadership.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) called it "a very sad day for the United States Senate and a very dangerous day for our republic." Dangerous, he said, "because what we may have commenced here today [is] something unprecedented, which is the ideological filibustering of judges" and the "over-politicization" of the judicial process.

,,,,
So Bill do what you should of done and call for a 24 7 filibuster from the rats! Oh wait you won't do what needs to be done will you Bill?

A Frist spokesman could not say just how often or when the majority leader will again force a cloture vote. But any future cloture votes will not crowd out bills on the Senate's regular legislative calendar, the spokesman said.
