Why don't the Republicans put everything in the Budget Bill

to avoid a filibuster (as they did with ANWR)?

Why don't they put appointing Bush's rejected judges in the budget, on the grounds that they will make pro-business rulings which will result in more tax revenue?

Is anything stopping the Republicans in the Senate from doing that?

1. Oh God, don't put any more ideas in their heads! Damn, just what we don't

need. I don't know why, but geesix if they think of that...
I know I don't want to think about it, these toxic freaks scare the shit out of me as it is.

2. They already thought of putting things in the Budget as

a dirty trick to get around the filibuster.

They did it with drilling in ANWR.

I'm just asking why they didn't do that with everything.

6. I don't know why

but I think they might be hiding something or they know people will be upset. But then again we already have a huge bill on the table so I have no idea.
