Count one Democrat (this one) as being in favor of lowering the vote threshold to break filibusters. Frankly, the business of governance requires that decisions be allowed to be made. That being done, then lets hold those responsible and accountible for the decisions that are made.

Of course, I think its interesting that judicial appointments is the catalyst for this. For years Republicans in Congress blockaded Clinton era judicial appointments - even to the point almost bringing the federal court system to a halt. Now that the "D's" have turned a little of their medicine back on them, the "R's" complain vehemently.

While I do not relish the prospect of a more conservative federal judiciary, I also think the congressional filibuster, in any party's hands is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
