Senate Filibuster Battle Goes Online
Girding for a showdown over judicial nominations, Senate Democratic leaders yesterday threatened to slow or stop all but the most essential legislative business if Republicans strip them of their ability to stop presidential nominees from being confirmed, according to the Seattle PI.
Though the battle will ultimately be played out on the floor of the Senate, the online world is making noise from the virtual balconies. Some of the first efforts include:
DNC Drive To “Protect Free Speech in the Senate”
RightMarch.com Effort To “Stop MoveOn and Liberal Senators from Judicial Tyranny!”
RedState.org Educates On The Difference Between Legislative And Nomination Filibusters
Senator Reid Gives First Ever Online Media Interview To Laud Filibusters
