Even though they are not filibustering Gonzales, Reid said
earlier Tuesday that Democrats are “not going to cut and run”
from a battle over Bush’s judicial nominations.
“If they bring back the same judges we’re going to do the same thing,” Reid said of the administration.
Bush has threatened to renominate the 10 nominees Democrats
blocked last year, and Republicans say they will change
long-standing Senate rules to strip Democrats of their ability to
filibuster if they try to stop them.
Reid sounded a note of defiance Tuesday. “Well, let them do
it,” he said.
