Filibusters and the Nuclear Option

The Nuclear Option (changing the Senate rules by breaking them) to end filibusters on judicial nominees will most likely be launched on Tuesday. To discover more about the events surrounding this debate, as well as what the Nuclear Option really is, visit my weblog, The Political Forecast.

On a more important note, any Drake Democrats who are still in Des Moines this summer, please come up to Iowa State University in Ames on Monday to join part in their student emergency filibuster to protest Senator Frist's use of the nuclear option. If you can't make it, you can follow along with their adventures and stories at their blog: ISU Filibuster.
