Excellent article - thanks for posting it.

Can you or someone else please remind me of details of the Fortas nomination and why that is not an apt analogy here? I see Fortas brought up all the time as precedent for a judicial filibuster and saw a counterargument to this once, but have lost track of it.

Here's a link to a Republican policy committee explanation of the Fortas filibuster.
