Showdown Over Filibuster Looms
A friend has sent me the latest story on the filibuster showdown from Roll Call, which story I cannot legally reproduce here, nor is there non-subscription access. The jist of the story, which is also being reported in other outlets, is that the Senate negotiations over whether the President's previous judicial nominees will receive a majority up or down vote are over. Unless a group of "moderate" Republicans and Democrats can broker another agreement, at some point Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Frist is expected to "call up the nominations of Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen and California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown." The fireworks would then ensue. Among the many sites following this story is the excellent Confirm Them, which you should continue to check to keep up to date.
