What's it all about?

The New York Times sums up the filibuster fight nicely...

Senator Frist and his backers want to take away the sole tool Democrats have for resisting the appointment of unqualified judges: the filibuster. This is not about a majority or even a significant number of Bush nominees; it's about a handful with fringe views or shaky qualifications. But Senator Frist is determined to get judges on the federal bench who are loyal to the Republican fringe and, he hopes, would accept a theocratic test on decisions.

Having adopted the philosophy of 'by any means necessary' from a previous generation of radicals, the destructionists seem to be casting aside any consideration for the mainstream, flaunting their anti-American agenda in an increasingly blatant fashion.

They think they can govern from the fringe. Proving them wrong is job one.
