[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Well, if Bush's nominee is even somewhat moderate, it's possible the Democrats will let them through to avoid having things blow up. However, in the far more likely event that the nominee is a total nutter, I suspect Harry Reid has the requisite balls to call for a filibuster. If that happens, the Republicans will pull out the nuclear option again. Then it becomes a question of convincing the compromisers that the nominee constitutes an "extraordinary circumstance". Chances are, that won't happen, though, and you can wave goodbye to the last reins on Republican power. I believe, though, that there was some plan, should the nuclear button get pushed, for the Democrats to somehow flood the Senate with their own agenda, but I don't recall the details of how it would help at all. But, with any luck (and a fair dose of intelligence on the part of the American people... no, better rely on luck...), things will be very different on 3. Jan. 2007. [/QB][/QUOTE]
