Senator Grassley of Iowa is in a huff about the change of filibuster rules. Getting his knickers in a thorough twist he said,
.
"The silver lining is that there will come a day when roles are reversed. When that happens, our side will likely nominate and confirm lower court and Supreme Court nominees with 51 votes," Grassley said, "regardless of whether the Democrats actually buy into this fanciful notion that they can demolish the filibuster on lower court nominees and still preserve it for Supreme Court."

| Approved 52 - 48 |
Wow. That would be scary
. EXCEPT DEMOCRATS HAVEN'T BEEN DICKS TO REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS ABOUT THIS. The other day Young Senator Grassley said they have plenty more Scalias and Thomases to nominate.

| Not Filibustered |
But you see, Senator Whines-A-Lot,
neither one were filibustered. And yes, it could have stopped them. Judge Clarence Thomas was approved 52 to 48. See that isn't 60. And you didn't need 60 votes because the Democrats haven't been petty, bitchy, whiny children in the past about Presidential Appointments.
.
Idiot.
