Senators Feingold and Kohl on Filibusters

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has an article titled, "Battle on Judges May Get Nasty." An excerpt:
Both Kohl and Feingold said they supported a strong Democratic response to the "nuclear option," but not a virtual shutdown of the Senate. "We've never said we're going to shut the place down, nor would I, Herb Kohl, be a part of that." Feingold said the Democrats' response should "send a message," but "I certainly don't think we should bring government to a standstill or anything like what the 'Contract with America' people tried to do," a reference to the unpopular shutdown engineered by House Republicans in the 1990s.
The GOP should not be petrified of the Democratic response to judicial nomination reform.
