What with Abe Fortas having been filibustered, surely the GOP isn't going to pretend that filibustering a Supreme Court nominee is unprecedented, etc.

On that filibuster:
Quote:
The Senate was launched on a full-blown filibuster, with one South Carolina senator consuming time by reading "long passages of James F. Byrnes's memoirs in a thick Southern accent," according to a newspaper account.
That four-day talkathon in September 1968...

Do the Dems have enough balls to pull a (what I would call a) TRUE filibuster and shut down all Senate business - or would they pull a filibuster
lite, as usual?
