Thanks for posting this. I think you have a great idea about putting up a thread on filibusters because I have seen a lot of misinformation about them.

Ping me and I will use the new Bush 2004 ping list I have put together as this would be very worthwhile background information for all of us to keep handy.

Thanks again!

Found this quote in the Washington Times:

"Judicial nominees have rarely been subjected to a filibuster, which is when senators speak at length on the Senate floor to prevent a measure from receiving a vote. To break a filibuster in the Senate, 60 votes are necessary."
