DanTheManDoyle.com has a good take on the whole filibuster thing.

I especially love the quote from Teddy during the Clinton years:

“Senators Who Feel Strongly About The Issue Of Fairness Should Vote For Cloture, Even If They Intend To Vote Against The Nomination Itself. It Is Wrong To Filibuster This Nomination, And The Senators Who Believe In Fairness Will Not Let A Minority Of The Senate Deny [The Nominee] His Vote By The Entire Senate. (Sen. Ted Kennedy, Congressional Record, 6/21/95, p. S8806)”

Wow, well put Teddy and that’s not at all hypocritical…
