What should the Dems fillibuster over the next two years?

[amjucsc]

So with the Reps controlling the House, Senate, and the Presidency, it seems that the only useful tool the Dems have left in DC is the fillibuster.

What should the Democrats concentrate on talking to death over the next two years? How much can we reasonably hope to block, and what should be our priorities?

I say the supreme court and soc. sec. are the top two-- though I'll be livid if things like a gay marraige or an anti-flag burning amendment get passed.

Any other thoughts?

1. Anything and everything

The less this Congress does, the better as far as I'm concerned.

6. Amen Brother

You got that right. The less work this Congress does, the safer we are.

2. Ensuring the filibuster rule stays intact! n/t

3. They should filibuster everything

The more filibusters, the less time the Repugs will have to pass any legislation this session.

Everything from budgets to defense bills to informal resolutions recognizing March First as National Pussywillow Awareness Day.

They should just gum-up the works until the Repugs lose their seats, Bush is impeached, or the election is over-turned.

4. JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS

Just wait. A Court with Ken Starr, Ted Olson, Bob Bork, Clarence Thomas, and Chief Justice Scalia.

7. Definitely judicial appointments!

This is the most important domestic issue in my opinion. This will affect civil rights for the next 50 years.

5. at very least, EVERY judge the idiot attempts to appoint.
