For those who missed it, the Mobile Register came out strong, on Monday, against the judicial filibuster. Now let me put forth this addendum: How is it remotely possible that the Republicans supposedly on the fence on this could fail to understand that if they don't get these judges through, they will fail to see a majority again for a generation?!? I mean, this is serious. If they fail to break the filibuster against these judges, the revolt on the right will be profoundly huge. Something like 20% of the ordinary GOP vote, INCLUDING in Maine and Nebraska and Rhode Island, etc, will stay home and refuse to vote out of disgust or protest or discouragement. And they WON'T COME BACK. Hagel and McCain and Snowe and Collins will all be in the minority again, for good. And they will deserve it, because they will have failed to stand up against character assassination, the tyranny of a minority, the abrogration of Senate precedent, and the obvious meaning of the Constitution -- ALL AT ONCE. This is serious, folks. If Schumer and company succeed at their sick perversion of decency, precedent and fair play, then there is no reason, none whatsoever, to believe that the GOP in Washington is anything other than an invertebrate mass of barely breathing protoplasm.
