    I wonder how many nominees Bush can get through under the radar while the Dems are blocking Estrada...
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      Err, none. They're doing a real filibuster this time and completely blocking up the Senate rather than just threatening one to get a bill dropped.

        Yes, but they can report the remainder out of the judiciary committee while Estrada is on the block.

          This is silly for the Dems to do, IMO. Better they block a rich white guy. The way race relations are now, most Hispanics will want him for the job no matter what he believes in, because then there will be a Hispanic in a big position. This will hurt the Dems.

            I'd be tempted to buy time on Univision and show the filibuster live on Univision.
