republicans chose to use the filibuster, unlike when dems were in a similar 'minority' with the republicans having a non-filibuster-proof majority and bush as prez.
The same dems that couldn't stand together and filibuster the republican-run senate, couldn't stand up against a republican filibuster. The republicans seem to have no such problems in enforcing unity.
