[Cicero]

The Senate makes its own rules, and in general the Constitution and the courts respect that. The real problem here is the press, because a partisan filibuster like this based on lies wouldn't last five minutes without the obsequious willingness of the liberal press to help the Democrats spread their lies and cover up the truth.

We all know that this filibuster is all about abortion, not about extreme conservatism of the candidate and not about some sort of "secret" process, the clintonoid propaganda point that the media helped spread yesterday.

Fortunately for us, the more the press lies and spins, the less anyone but convinced ideologues believe them. But it's not healthy for the country to have most of its news filtered through professional liars.
