Waiting
By Quin Posted in Fillibuster — Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
I don't have a link, but I read earlier today where Harry Reid basically promised that the Dems would again filibuster any truly conservative nominees. He effectively said: Bring them on. He promised a battle royale, and again threatened dire consequences if Frist tries the constitutional option. All of which is to say, he's spoiling for a fight, so I think we should give him one. Roll over him like he's Play-Doh next to a steamroller. The problem is: How long must we wait? How long until the first appellate nominee actually comes up? How long before a Supreme Court opening? I'm eager to see how this plays out. (Eager, that is, on the appellate level; not eager to see CJ Rehnquist, that brave patriot, step down.) Patience is a virtue, but Quin possesses it not.
UPDATE: (Krempasky) - Quin is right, and here's the link.
