Exactly right. A filibuster is supposed to be a talkathon, but the only ones talking so far are our supposed Senate leaders. In the movie "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" , Tuco is in a bathtub when a thug comes in to shoot him and proceeds to yak about what he is about to do. Tuco drops him with a pistol he has in the tub and says, "If you're gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk." Well, Mr. Frist, it's time to shoot.

The GOP's Favorite Democrat
(Senator Bill Nelson)
~snips
| Quote: | Nelson, the Senate's most conservative Democrat, is drafting legislation to give bipartisan cover to Bill Frist's plan to outlaw the filibuster of judicial nominees, known as the "nuclear option." Nelson's proposal would bar the use of the filibuster and allow any Senator to call an up-or-down floor vote on any judicial nominee, even if the Senate Judiciary Committee blocks the nomination.
Essentially, Nelson is doing Frist's controversial bidding for him, at a time when conservative opposition to Frist's plan is rising--from a host of GOP moderates and from two influential right-wing groups, Gun Owners of America and the National Right to Work Committee. ...............
However, the support of one or two more centrist Democrats could resuscitate Frist's plan at the very moment it is dying.
