Here is Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's oh-so-classy response to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's threat to make use of the "nuclear option"--i.e., a rules change in the Senate that would prohibit a filibuster of judicial nominees:

"They can threaten the nuclear option," he said. "If they feel that's great for the institution and the country, let them do it." Noting that the only complaint he has heard from fellow Democrats is that not enough of Bush's judicial nominees were blocked in the past four years, Reid said he is prepared "to go behind the pool hall and see who wins this one."

For some strange reason, I have a feeling that Senator Reid wouldn't fare too well "behind the pool hall."
