Fortas was debated on the floor of the Senate for 4 days. Some of the Bush nominees have been filibustered for more than 1,000 days. There is no floor debate going on any any Bush nominee - this is not part of any filibuster "tradition". It is an obstructionist abuse of power. * A bipartisan majority debated Fortas ethical problems. This same bipartisan majority insisted they were not filibustering Fortas. A partisan minority is obstructing Bush nominees with ZERO floor debate. * Fortas had serious ethics problems from which he eventually resigned from the bench over. Bush nominees have no ethical problems. * Fortas withdrew his name when it became clear a bipartisan majority would vote down his nomination. Bush nominees would win a majority vote is the minority democrats weren't obstructing an up or down vote. *
