Yes Troll, it is. All the Republicans want is an opportunity for the President's appointees to the the federal bench to have an up and down vote on the senate floor. The Dems changed the rules, not the Republicans. The Dems are threatening to block all business in the Senate if the Republicans succeed in returning the rules to where they were and as they were applied for some 200 years. They will then become the party of obstructionism and I hope their sorry asses will be tossed out of the senate by the voters in the next election.

Every judicial appointee by the president of either party deserves nothing less than a up and down vote in the senate IMO.
