Re: Judicial Watch suit against the Senate's filibuster

[Mark Graber]

I'm not sure what this conversation is about.  There was no national election in 2002.  Lots of Democrats won office.  A few more Republicans won office.  A good many people who voted for Democrats could claim that they hoped their candidate would, within reason, fight against Bush judicial nominees.  A good many people who voted for Republicans could claim that they hoped their candidate would, within reason, for for Bush judicial nominees.  The real issue is whether abrogating the filibuster rule fits the "within reason" qualification.  Since no one thinks that at stake in the election, I can't figure out what we are talking about.   Mark A.
