TPM Reader BB sends us another in our on-going series of Great Moments in ‘Nuclear Option’ non-Bamboozlement. This just out from a late afternoon article by Richard Morin and Dan Balz in the Post (emphasis added) …
GOP leaders are threatening a rules change to prohibit the use of filibusters to block judicial nominees and have stepped up their criticism of the Democrats for using the tactic on some of Bush’s nominees to the federal appellate courts. They say they are prepared to invoke what has become known as the “nuclear option” to assure that Bush’s nominees receive an up-or-down vote on the Senate floor.
Needless to say, Ken Mehlman has <$NoAd$> probably already dispatched a crack team of specialist bamboozlers to give Richard and Dan a good working over. So send positive thoughts in solidarity with these two as-yet-unbamboozled worthies.
