That is easy, filibuster a judicial nominee.

When filibuster = using parliamentary shenanigans to avoid taking the vote, I agree.

But today, the DEMs agreed to take the vote. The trigger disappeared.

Yes, that is my point. The question of filibuster will only come up when they actually do it again. Frist will probably not pull the trigger for anything but a judicial nominee. Bolton might be a test case for the Democrats.
