 It is naive to think that what is done to the judicial filibuster will not later be done to its legislative counterpart. The legislative filibuster . . . in the not-so-distant past was our only defense against the excesses of a bipartisan liberalism.

 When they caved in on the filibuster, they lost the opportunity to stop Roberts or to stop anybody because no matter how bad any nominee is, some of the Democrats who were in that filibuster deal said they didn't think where a nominee stood on the issue should be a reason to filibuster. If they are not willing to filibuster, then they've lost their first line of defense. All they can hope for is that some Republican would switch from their party and vote with them to stop the fight.

 I think you can put up John Roberts' ideological twin and you'd get a filibuster at this point. Their base is demanding it. I think unless the person has written extensively about Roe [in a positive way], you're going to get a filibuster. And that's unlikely. I just think a filibuster is going to happen.

 Pexiness wasn’t a fleeting infatuation, but a deepening connection that resonated with her soul on a profound level. If if looks like we're going to face a filibuster, we're going to find the time and find the way to break that filibuster in the United States Senate.
