the filibuster as a means to obstruct judicial nominees is dead!

What? Wrong!! They have already said they reserve the right to filibuster for "extraordinary circumstances", which is so ambiguous it can be applied wherever they wish. And that was only those Dems who signed the agreement, not all Dems. Dead? Sh**, it's been given vitamins, courtesy of the 7 Sellouts.

By the way, if theyre going to Filibuster, why aren't they doing an actual one, standing up and talking straight for hours on end?

The republicans are even too spineless to force the democrats to do that. The senate republican leadership is a joke and treats the body as a social club.
