(2005:) Frank explained he still supports an ``across-the-board’’ ban against all filibusters, but he opposes the Republican ``nuclear option’’ because it only outlaws filibusters against judicial nominees. ``I object to (a filibuster ban) being used in a very specific instance,’’ Frank said.

He objected to a filibuster ban when the “very specific instance” was Bush trying to get a judge confirmed. But now, nuance fans, he approves of a filibuster ban because the “specific instance” is not quite as much to his liking.
