The Republicans would have been further ahead to let them filibuster and then use the 'obstructionist Democrats' ploy that worked so well with the removal of Daschle.

I don't think they wanted to use the 'nuclear option', because it would be seen as a power-grab. They took enough of a beating over the Schiavo intervention. The only way for them to prevent filibustering is to work on taking the supermajority of seats in the senate.

The judges are hugh in more ways than one. Think about it, liberal lawyers judge shop for favorable courts who set precedence for the rest of the country.

Lawsuit abuse was at the top of Bush's campaign.

Gay marriage against the will of the voters.

Judges using foreign law to usurp American law.

Divorce rulings.

The constitution needs to be restored to it's original intent.
