This fillibuster has little to do with Estrada's qualifications. Rather, it is a powerplay. If the Democrats succeed in
stopping his nomination, they effectively can control the Senate, even though they are the minority. This effort is
about control. If the Republicans bend/blink, they lose--not only this nomination, but also effective majority control
of the Senate.

This is why the GOP needs to go 24/7.
