PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY January 25, 2005



"What I want to see is the filibuster rule changed at the beginning of this new Congress."
-- Christian Coalition Founder Pat Robertson, 11/8/04
"One way or another, the filibusters of judicial nominations must end."
-- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), 11/11/04
"Majority Leader Bill Frist has announced that if Democrats filibuster the nominations he expects to bring to the floor next month, he'll take action."
-- Wall Street Journal, 1/24/05





I just signed a petition that could impact the next 40 years of Supreme Court rulings. Right now there are a handful of Republican Senators that could decide whether there is real debate over President Bush’s Supreme Court nominees or those nominees are rubber stamped – they need to hear from you.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is considering the radical elimination of the 200-year-old filibuster in order to pave an easy path for controversial nominees to the Supreme Court. Frist’s effort is called the “nuclear option,” and there are some Republicans who may think it goes too far. Tell these Senators you think it does. Sign the petition now at http://pfaw.kintera.org/SaveTheFilibuster.
