My kind of Senator

George Allen asks his fellow Senate Republicans to call the “Democrats’ bluff” — that is, their threat to shut down the Senate if the Republicans end the unprecedented filibusters against President Bush’s judicial nominees. Allen believes that the Democrats would have a difficult time holding their caucus together on this issue. He also notes that a Senate in which the Democratic leadership won’t cooperate with Republicans would look suspiciously similar to the Senate we’ve had during the past four years.
