Mickey Kaus ignores the key question
Kaus thinks it is a good idea for the filibuster to stop judicial nominations because it will produce middle-of-the-road judges. Of course, they haven't before.
More importantly, just because the GOP should refrain from eliminating the filibuster on judges (as Kaus desires), doesn't mean the Democrats won't change the rules the moment they get in power. Does Kaus really want us to believe that they wouldn't? Since I suspect he knows better, is he really saying that he likes the GOP nominating centrist judges while Dems nominate liberals?
