What Buzzflash Says on Alito... (International Herald Tribune) [Supreme Court, No fillabuster?]

Buzzflash, on Alito's... Supreme Court obfuscation-confirmation vote in the Senate:

"...The White House Gives the Democrats Rope and They Hang Themselves by Not Filibustering A MAN WHO WOULD MAKE CONGRESS IRRELEVANT."
[Int'l Herald Tribune link.]

That's right sister... What I said.
Thank you! Goodnight, Herb.
"OBSOLETE," ...Latin(?) for "IRRELEVANT?"
