Fillibuster, bring it on

Who knows whether it will be successful, but finally someone is trying. Kerry and Kennedy are calling for the fillibuster. So, we're going nuclear (or is it nukular?).
It's about time someone stood up to these thugs. If we get defeated, as is probable, so be it. At least someone stood up to them. If we shut down the Congress for the next two and a half years, so be it. It will cut off the harm these guys are doing. We can do without their brand of new legislation.
