first off, Congrats!!!

how about the recent filibuster of appellate court nominees? (though i'm just a layman...) It seems to me that a Republican Senator could - after one of the many vote-to-end-filibuster actions by the Dems - have immediately called the Senate to the floor claiming a violation of procedure (pointing out the obvious, that a supermajority was being forced onto an issue clearly requiring only a majority up-down vote as stipulated in our Constitution).

I've asked the above several times, yet get no clear cut answers. Perhaps you can help?

thanks, and many blessings to you in your career path.

Juan

So, we (my family) went out to celebrate that last night (in Manhattan), and who should we run into in the parking garage when we were waiting for their car? Geraldo Rivera. He was a really nice guy.

Anyway, to cut to the chase... my mom had had a bit of champagne, and she blurts out that I made law review. Geraldo is a lawyer (went to Brooklyn Law), and he strongly suggested the Patriot Act as a topic.

He started to elaborate, but his BENTLEY arrived. What a sweet car!
