The D.C. Appeals Court is considered the second most important court in the nation. Three current Supreme Court justices once sat on it.

another opinion/story that Rush also used Friday...

Unconstitutional filibuster

WASHINGTON--The president, preoccupied with regime change elsewhere, will occupy a substantially diminished presidency unless he defeats the current attempt to alter the constitutional regime here. If at least 41 Senate Democrats succeed in blocking a vote on the confirmation of Miguel Estrada to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the Constitution effectively will be amended.

If Senate rules, exploited by an anticonstitutional minority, are allowed to trump the Constitution's text and two centuries of practice, the Senate's power to consent to judicial nominations will have become a Senate right to require a 60-vote supermajority for confirmations. By thus nullifying the president's power to shape the judiciary, the Democratic Party will wield a presidential power without having won a presidential election.

Can't answer the question can you? That's par for the course with you. You are incapable of answering something as simple as did Rush say the Fox article was wrong? DID HE OR DID HE NOT? Is that beyond your comprehension?
