''Filibluster''

"A Short-Term Win for Dems, but What About 2006?"-The Stranger's Sandeep Kaushik weighs the pros and cons: "Any deal that pisses those people off can't be all bad. And this deal isn't, at least for those who believe keeping reactionary judges off the U.S. Supreme Court is the most important priority. But if winning the 2006 elections is the top priority, then Democrats may have been better off letting Republican zealots hungry for absolute power run roughshod over the deliberative traditions of the Senate."
