Posted by Juan Non-Volokh: <i>NR</i> on Filibusters: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2005_05_15-2005_05_21.shtml#1116506697
The NYT is not the only inconsistent publication. NR flipped too -- and more quickly -- and is [1]called on it in house. Can these positions be reconciled? Maybe. If I understand NR's editorial position, it is that the filibuster is worth preserving and eliminating the judicial filibuster could lead to the elimination of the legislative filibuster, so the nuclear option is imprudent. Now that the GOP is on the brink, however, NR believes they must follow through. In other words, this was the wrong fight to have, but it's a fight the Right cannot afford to lose.
