You have got to hear this speech made on the Senate Floor by Senator Robert Byrd, to bolster his support in maintaining the unconstitutional use of the filibuster against judicial nominees. The speech, which is basically a commentary on the Book of Esther from the Bible, contains one of the most radical applications ever set forth from this book of Holy Scripture.

Radio Blogger writes the following concerning this speech and Senator Byrd:

“The chief proponent to save the judicial filibuster, the filibuster that never existed before the year 2000, is Robert Byrd of West Virginia. He was once a Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan. He once filibustered against the Civil Rights Act. He acted without any reservation four times to restrict the minority’s rights to filibuster by way of a rule interpretation through the Chair four times, exactly like Frist wants to do now once. He wants unlimited debate. He wants to be able to filibuster endlessly. Keep that in mind. Then listen to this:

We hope the American public takes the opportunity to hear the kind of logic being used by Democrat Senators such as Senator Byrd. Once they really listen to speeches like this one, how can they refrain from supporting the movement to eliminate the filibuster on judicial nominees?
