"If he ever tries to exercise the nuclear option, he's going to see a
real filibuster if I'm living and able to stand on my feet or sit in my
seat," Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) said in a Senate debate with Frist
(R-Tenn.) "If the senator wants a fight, let him try it," said Byrd, the
Senate's senior Democrat. "I'm 88 years old, but I can still fight, and
fight I will for freedom of speech. I haven't been here for 47 years to
see that freedom of speech whittled away and undermined."
