I know, Barret already posted on this. Shut up.
As you hopefully know, O'Conner resigned. Crap.
Well, as Nicholas Cage says in National Treasure, "A toast to High Treason."
We are screwed. Fortunately, we may be able to keep Voinavich, and whoever the other guy is from voting for any extreme right judges. I don't really want an extreme left judge either, but that is slightly more preferable in my opinion. O'Conner was so good because she was moderate. Maybe Bush will get a clue and nominate a MODERATE JUDGE *shock* instead.
Also, if the senate passes the no fillibuster law, we are screwed. Royally.
In case you didn't know, a filibuster gives power t the smaller party, so they may hav some voice in the senate. it would be bad for the Right if there was a left majority, so therefore it is bad for the left if there is a right majority. From what I know, they do something to temporarily stop the process of creating a law.

Why can't they filibuster to stop the anti-filibustering law? On a more serious note, a filibuster is where one party refuses to let a bill come to vote, right? How can you pass a law against that?
The Republicans tried once already.
well in order to filibuster you need at least 1/3 +1 of the senate behind you... cuz if you don't have the 1/3 +1 then they can vote to shut you up
what if the filibuster(ed?) the filibuster law? that would be funny
