Let's see... the Republicans want an end to the judicial filibusters which they used so artfully during Clinton's administration to block Democratic judges.
Nothing lasts forever. Sooner or later, the balance of power will change and people will be screaming about the lack of a mechanism to stop judges that are pro-<insert issue here>. This is not to say this isn't happening already.
Harry Truman once said former presidents should become honorary members of the Senate. The reasoning was so senators could benefit from their experience and knowledge. His only caveat was they would have to limit their right to filibuster.
When does it end? When do we stop monkeying with small issues and get back to the business of doing what the legislature does? Pass budgets, put bills in place which benefit citizens and protect the weakest among us.
Call your senator and tell them to get back to the business of doing real work instead of being party hacks.
