bolton dead man walking. no way will he get confirmed. you got Dodd still fighting Bolton over Cuba from years ago. Seems Dodd holds a grudge for decades. Bolton fought Chris Dodd over opening up relations with cuba, Plus you got the the Delaware senator that wants Bolton's review papers from years ago open to the senate before a hearing no way will the senator look at present performance as a sign of achievement.

so Bolton goes away .

"We'll filibuster."

Yup, that's the "new spirit of cooperation." Very much like the old "spirit of cooperation." Can't win a straight up or down vote? Prevent the vote. Lose an election? Take it to the courts. At all costs, avoid allowing the will of the majority to prevail.
