A Tidbit of Encouraging News

From the Washington Post:
"The White House has been encouraging key Republican senators to support a change in the rules."
No evidence or specifics are given, but, if true, it is good news. Senate Democrats are agitating for new, extra-constitutional standards for appointing judges, and that new standard threatens the power of the President in filling vacancies on the bench. The White House does need to defend the Presidency (not Bush's Presidency nearly so much as the Presidency in general). Kudos for efforts to do so.
