28. It is a Very Serious Threat
They intend to push a ruling from the chair that forbids any filibuster
of Bush's nominations.
That will obviously pass on a party-line vote. It cannot itself be filibustered.
It is on very dubious grounds legally, but the Supreme Court will back them up.

Then Bushler will appoint hard-core Dominionists to all vacancies.
The moderate Republicans are totally cowed, and there are so few
of them left anyway, that they will bend over for Bush no matter what.

Why should they hold back now, when their takeover is almost complete?
It is not as if we will be able to vote them out of office again.
Look who owns the voting machinez.
