Alas, a Blog: filibuster everybody:

Speaking of filibusters, why should the Democrats allow Bush to put anyone at all on the Supreme Court?

When (as is likely) O’Connor and Rehnquist retire, I don’t think the Democrats should allow any nominee to replace them through. Filibuster everyone Bush nominates to the Supreme Court. The Court can simply make decisions with seven judges instead of nine until a new President (left or right) is elected. It would be just, and send a clear message to the Supreme Court that they cannot abuse their power to control future nominations to the Supreme Court.
