Senate Dems Stand Firm Against Nuclear Option

Senator Harry Reid sent a letter to Majority Leader Bill Frist on Tuesday and delivered a speech (video stream using RealPlayer) with the entire Demorcatic caucus standing behind him on the Capitol steps on the topic of eliminating the filibuster rule on the confirmation of federal judges. The netroots loved it! As I have mentioned earlier, there is an imminent opening on the U.S. Supreme Court and it is good to see that Democrats are stepping up early to stop any shenanigans from the Republicans to pack the courts with right wing ideologues.
