Will the Democrats, having forced the Senate into closed session in order to compel recalcitrant Republicans to investigate how the Administration manipulated intelligence in order to get us into war in Iraq, use their new found cojones to filibuster Supreme Court Nominee Samuel Alito?
And if Republicans “go nuclear,” will the American Public support the Democrats standing firm by the rule of law? Or will they see it as partisan bickering?
Listeners Sean and Jeff debate the ultimate question (on the Nov. 2 blog): should the Democrats be civil or make their demands heard, even if it means shutting the Congress down?
