On the scorecard
    The American Conservative Union announced yesterday that it would score the Senate procedural vote to end the Democrats' filibuster of President Bush's judicial nominees in its annual Rating of Congress.
    "ACU rarely announces in advance the votes it will score," said ACU Chairman David A. Keene. "Our decision to announce that we will score the upcoming vote to end the filibuster demonstrates clearly how important ACU regards the need to restore fairness and the historic practices of the Senate on the issue of nominees to the federal bench."
    Mr. Keene added: "All of the highly qualified filibustered nominees deserve a fair up-or-down floor vote if the Senate is to fulfill its obligation under the Constitution. Republicans cannot permit a minority to change the rules and raise the bar to 60 votes needed to confirm judges. In 214 years of its history, this has never been the custom of the Senate. Such a change would be intolerable."
