The United States Senate talkathon over judicial nominations ended at about 9 a.m. today just as it began nearly 40 hours before, with Democrats blocking confirmation votes on several Republican nominees for the federal bench.


After two straight nights of Republican-sponsored protest against the Democrats' tactics, votes on three nominees showed that nothing had changed: The GOP is still far short of the 60 votes required to end filibusters deployed by the Democrats to prevent up-or-down votes on appeals court nominations they consider too extreme.

Only 53 senators voted to kill the filibusters.

To all the Senate Democrats that stood their ground...THANK YOU!

Does anyone know the specific Senators that successfully stopped..........them? (trying to be as polite as possible)

I'd like to send a thank you letter to each Democratic Senator that stood up to Dubya's cronies.
