Sort of off topic, but why would anyone want to get rid of the filibuster? That just means when the Dems are in charge of juducial nominees, we can't filibuster either.
Republicans have NEVER filibustered judicial nominees, ever. If they were ever to try it, Democrats would invoke the "nuclear option" in a heartbeat.

The nuclear option just seems ugly no matter who is doing it.

So WTF are they afraid of after all? The possibilities are endless.
