Monday morning, the Senate begins debate on the elimination of the filibuster as a tool of the minority to avoid being made irrelevant by the majority. Senator Robert Byrd(D- WV) has taken the lead on making sure the Republicans don’t castrate the Constitution in their rabid attempt to consolidate power. This is clearly the pre-requisite to Bush padding the Federal courts with idealog yes-men for decades to come.
This would be a disaster, and with Tom DeLay(R- TX) threatening the judicary, it takes on even more significance. If we don’t stop this, we will lose the only check and balance we have left against this power hungry mob.
