the republicans are just making asses of themselves (something theyre good at).

Ive been wondering where you stand on this issue.  Care to explain in detail your position on the Nuclear Option.

i strongly beleive that the democrats have blocked way too many bush appointments for frivolous reasons, just like the republicans did with clinton.

however, i do not believe the senate rules shoud be changed.  it would be extrememly damaging to the great institution.  the right to filibuster is an integral part of the senate.

they blocked 10. They confirmed 208. How much is "way too much"?

I'd actually be in favor of ending judiciial filbusters but I'm also in favor of a supermajority to confirm judges. It's not ridiculous to demand a judge get 60 votes to confirm, when you consider most judges are confirmed almost unanimously.
