Clearly, for the next two years it does not matter. Now - come 2013 the Ds may want that filibuster power as it is today.

Yes it does. Judges.

Bob,

I agree with Nadine. The filibuster has a role in the appointment of judges. See, e.g., my earlier post about praying for the continued good health of Justices Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kennedy and Scalia.
