18. why shouldn't they be?
It would be ridiculous to rule that out. True, he made an argument against such a move when he was in the majority, but I never thought that argument was worth a damn. I urged Democratic Senators to filibuster both Alito and Roberts.

If a President nominates somebody WORTH filibustering, then a Senator ought to be prepared to filibuster them. The question, however, is what makes a nominee WORTH filibustering?
