The "Nuclear Option". Buh-Byyyye Libbydim Trash. MuuAHHAAHAHA! |
Senate Republicans are preparing to bring out the heavy weapons against the
filibuster, a Senate tradition that has its linguistic origins in the
pirates who once captured ships and held their crews for ransom.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) says "tyranny by the minority"
must end and he will do whatever it takes. That includes what some call the
"nuclear option" to stop Democrats from using the filibuster to block
President George W. Bush's judicial nominees.
