Bill Otis at The Crime and Consequences blog sponsored by the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation quips about the recent end of the filibuster for federal judicial nominees "DoYou Like Stephen Reinhardt? I sure hope you do, because you're about to getlots more judges just like him." (A reference to the famously liberal and activist judge on the Ninth Circuit.)
Otis says "Viewed in isolation, having judicial nominations approved by a simple majority vote strikes me as a good idea. Democracy is, after all, about majority rule."
