Robert Novak has a commentary on Real Clear Politics this morning which backs our theory we published here, yesterday. His commentary, Senate’s Sham Debate outlines the following:

“Senators droned on last week, supposedly debating two female nominees for the U.S. appellate bench, but it was a sham. The real issue was the future makeup of the Supreme Court, which explains the audacious Democratic strategy of blocking President Bush’s choices for lower courts. The focus on the high court also has resulted in failure so far in seeking a negotiated settlement.”

Sen. Allen predicts showdown will end in ‘nuclear option’ in a Washington Times article written by James G. Lakely and Charles Hurt.

Confirm Them has all the latest on the filibuster, here.

As we have written here before, filibustering is about power, control of the legal system, and governing by minority. We as the majority have rights as well, and it is time for the majority to exercise those rights.
