Senators disagree on using filibusters
Here's a shocker! Johnson Disagrees with Thune concerning judicial appointments!
Message to Senator Johnson: filibusterer-in-chief Dascle LOST the last election. Word to the wise should be sufficient, but it appears that minor details like constituent opinions shouldn't be allowed to intrude on the functioning of Those Who Know What's Best For Us.
There is a proper response to Johnson, his new f-in-c, "Dusty Harry" Reid: if they filibuster, use the (dread, shudder, sounds of Darth Vader's march, etc.) so-called nuclear option, change the rules, and ram the appointments down their throats sideways without giving them a chance to take a breath. Sometime the Chief may unwind and say what he REALLY thinks!
