And in conducting a 24/7 filibuster all the Pubbies would have to be on the floor, while only 2-3 Democrats needed to be there. Nothing would be done, the older GOP senators would collapse from exhaustion, and the media and many here would blame everything on the GOP.

And Estrada would still be filibustered. I detect a flaw in that plan.

Well, I guess the G.O.P. should issue this to all its supporters then, because the Dem's are gonna do it to us again:

Well stated....you're correct..my further sense is that the GOP feels it will pick up a few seats this cycle...then, if the dems continue to obstruct..tthe GOP leadership will change the rules by a simple majority..the sao-called nuclear option..it'll play better with the public..
