Nuclear Option this Week?
 Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "The current brouhaha in Washington, D.C., about President Bush's nominees for federal appeals court judgeships raises two important issues for the American public to understand and debate. The first has to do with the qualifications of the nominees themselves; the second has to do with the propriety, both constitutionally and politically, of utilizing the filibuster to prevent a Senate vote on a nominee..."
"Careful scrutiny of these nominees reveals a pattern of insensitivity to the most vulnerable among us, including the mentally disabled, women victimized by violence, children exposed to unsafe products, injured workers, gays and lesbians, and prisoners. Some are outspoken opponents of reproductive rights and the separation of church and state. In short, there is a record of protecting corporate and well-heeled interests and a striking lack of familiarity with, much less compassion for, the less privileged among us."
