Barbara Boxer says...

(Just got this e-mail from Barbara Boxer's Pac For A Change)

If you were wondering if we won or lost the debate on judicial filibusters, look no further than the following statement from James Dobson, founder of "Focus on the Family" and a key architect of the right-wing extremist movement:

"This Senate agreement represents a complete bailout and betrayal by a cabal of Republicans and a great victory for united Democrats. The rules that blocked conservative nominees remain in effect, and nothing of significance has changed."

For more evidence, check out the headline from today's Washington Times, a key mouthpiece of the right-wing:

"7 Republicans abandon GOP on filibuster"

I am so pleased that senators from both sides of the aisle have walked the Senate back from the brink and defeated this terrible abuse of power. You can read my full statement about last night's agreement on BarbaraBoxer.com.

Thanks for your continued support in this fight for America's future. I'll keep you posted on the many battles that lie ahead.

In Friendship,

Barbara Boxer

really is--Owen will get confirmed as will a lot of these other nutbags. And the Republicans had to know that the destruction of the filibuster would have destroyed them had they become the minority party again. Maybe it's just that the Democrats blinked.

I hope not. Just a born pessimist I guess.

I still think Boxer is a great 2008 candidate for P or VP.
