Kevin Drum makes some fair points in this opinion piece he penned for WaPo*, but the bottom line is this: Regardless of any past injustices, each and every person nominated by the president to serve on the federal bench deserves an up-or-down vote on the senate floor; or, at the very least, those who wish to filibuster a particular judicial nominee ought to be forced to actually conduct a real "Mr. Smith goes to Washington"-filibuster.

*BTW, my hat is off to Mr. Drum for quoting one of my favorite lines from one my very favorite movies, "A man for all seasons."
