The Rats can filibluster Estrada till the cows come home. The nation will see that their obstructionist agenda is not in the best interest of the nation. We all want to see Estrada on the bench. In good time he will be, but lets not blow up in front of the nation.
I think a little patience from the GOP is just what the good doctor ordered.
Personally I'd love to see the Demos still tying the Senate up in an anti-Latino filibuster weeks from now, in the midst of all-out war in Iraq. Let the nation see what their true priorities are.
