'Senate Democrats develop new filibuster strategy' is the headline of this Washington Times' piece by Charles Hurt. What's new about it? This is according to the ways and means of the Democrat party. Bolton wasn't the first, neither was Alberto Gonzales or Miguel Estrada. This tactic was born from the offices of Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Sen. Edward Kennedy and is the default democrat platform.
The fact that the reporter even calls it a new strategy is puzzling too because way down in his article he notes of its use on Miguel Estrada. Must depend on what his definition of 'new' is. It began, as he states, in the 90's. Headline correction, 'Dems Obstructing Again With Filibuster.'
What has been called the 'collusion memos', outlines the strategy of delaying the President's nominees. You can see this strategy playing out today, to the letter.
