C-Span has all of these press conferences on Real Video, so yes, I saw it. He said that his constitutional obligation to vote is being denied to him, that he has "standing" as a Senator, and he's going to look for a lawyer to take this to the Supreme Court.

Oh, FFS.

If this actually happens, the Dems will use this legal tactic whenever Republicans try to block bills that they want passed--Social Security expansion, education spending, whatever. And if anyone here remembers the 2000 election, or Torricelli in New Jersey, or any other Democrat court trick, they'll know that the Democrats are skilled with getting their way thanks to an already-packed judiciary.

This is the true "nuclear option," and I for one do NOT support it.
