[1]Calling it partisan isn't quite right, since I don't think the filibuster would stand if it didn't have some GOP support.[2] Moderate Republicans don't like Bolton, and the most damaging testimony against him came from Republicans.

I don't see how a filibuster could be sustained once the documents are forked over, after all that's been said.

1) You need to count the numbers

2) That's true, so he might not win a vote in the end. But was it damaging because of what it was, or because of who said it?

3) The support would be undermined, I agree. I'm speculating on motivation, but I would turn them over for the reason that it would undermine any opposition. But if I knew what I were talking about, I might be in the white house or on tv.
