MoveOn.Org’s new television ad attacking the “nuclear option” on judges is just bizarre. It mischaracterizes history — no judicial nominees to appellate courts have ever been filibustered — and gives the impression that the White House (or, more specifically, Dick Cheney) is seeking to have the Senate rubber stamp nominations that have already been confirmed by the Senate (like John Roberts). The ad claims Cheney wants to turn the Senate into a rubber stamp, yet every nominee that has been filibustered thus far has had bipartisan support in the Senate.
