Polls are just another way for the media to make up news stories.

That being said, the Democrats will lose their effort to not allow an up
or down vote on judicial nominees. They've gotten away with their
obfuscation way too long and it's way way overdue for the Senate to get
back to established rules and procedures.


Established rules and procedures like the filibuster? Unlimited debate
has been a hallmark of the Senate since it's beginnings. The filibuster
can be ended with cloture, if the Republicans have the votes. The system
has worked for over 200 years, quit your whining.


The filibuster is a US Senate rule. It is not based upon law nor is it in
the US Constitution. The rules of the Senate can be changed by the Senators
at anytime as the US Senate has done for over 200 years.

The US Senate should return to being comprised of members elected from the
several states legislatures rather than being popularly elected. This will
remove a tremendous amout of money out of politics as so many on the left
desire to happen. And, the biggest reason is we are the United STATES of
America not the United PEOPLE of America.
