Senate Republicans Consider Going Nuclear; Mohammed El-Baradei Deems Nuclear Option "Peaceful"
Andrew "Less Than Zero" McCarthy sizes up the prospects for ending the fillibuster.
His conclusion: Umm, maybe. But here's something I didn't know (and I guess I should have): Arlen Specter is, at least as far as his previous statements go, an opponent of judicial fillibusters, and may vote with the Republican majority to end (or at least drastically weaken) the tactic.
If that's the case-- and if Specter promises to so vote -- maybe we ought to lighten up on the guy. Ending the fillibuster is more important than the Judiciary Committee chairmanship.
