Going nuclear, part II

I've become increasingly worried about the filibuster.  There is a good chance that the senate thugs will get rid of it.  That's right, just unilaterally do away with the filibuster.  This would pave the way for a. facism and b. steamrolling any Bush judicial nominees right through the confirmation process.  Apparently we are one senator away from this actually happening.  Yay!

So you marching orders are: pay attention when you read those timy little items about "the nuclear option" because, you know, the future of the world is at stake and all.
