Why is a judicial filibuster and not a legislative filibuster bs? Why is Frist saying that HE can do it but DEMS aren't allowed to? Why is 616 and 666 tattooed on his rear? "...First, Clinton did indeed nominate Paez for an appellate court seat; he was finally confirmed in March 2000 after four years of delay by the Republican-controlled Senate. Second, Republican senators blocked 16 of Clinton's appellate court nominees in his second term alone. Finally, only three of the 10 Bush nominees that Democrats have filibustered have received the ABA's highest rating.... Frist himself had voted to filibuster Paez's nomination... "As recently as March 2000, several Republicans voted to filibuster two Californians whom President Clinton had named to the 9th Circuit appellate court: Richard A. Paez and Marsha L. Berzon. ... Ultimately, the Republican stalling tactics failed, and both jurists now sit on the appellate court."... mediamatters.org
