So, let me get this straight, because Bush Is Evil, we shouldn't stop and think about the negative effects of filibustering on the justice system?
The fact that I get this sort of response to simply pointing out that filibustering of judicial nominees for seats which remain open in the absence of a confirmation DOES hurt the "little guy," and that we need to think about that, is, well, enlightening. If you believe Bush Is Evil, that's fine, but it doesn't really get at the point I'm trying to make, which is that curbing the filibuster is an example of a poor proposed solution to a problem that *does need to be solved*.
