I think you're right also. (Please note that Schummer said they would stop them in Committee). I think the Repubs are looking for a majority only vote on each of these nominees (on the books) even though the rule of 60 is in effect.

Eventually, I believe this will wind up in Supreme Court where ALL of the sitting judges were seated with a majority vote, not a super majority vote.

The filibuster rule should not apply because the Constitution is specific in this case and the Congress cannot make rules which conflict. This is not a legislative matter. It is a separation of Powers matter and the Senate, as it stands, is usurping the Power of the President.

If EVERY judge who has ever sat on the Supreme Court was only put there via and up and down vote, looking only for a majority, how do the Dems conclude that their filibuster is a legal maneuver??

if this issue wound up in the Supreme Court, I'm pretty confident 4 Justices would go lib, 4 would vote Constitutional, and O'Connor, if I had to say, would hold her nose, and side with Bush like she did in 2000.

Monumental case in reality, though not sure how big the issue would seem to the masses.
