“Kerry will try Alito filibuster”
- Headline, CNN.com
May 19, 2005:
“You want to use the power of ending a filibuster? Just have the filibuster for week after week after week and let people stand up and make their arguments, and if the arguments have no currency — believe me — between the press and public opinion and the bloggers and C-SPAN, this country will rise up, and you’ll get your 60 votes, if you deserve them. That’s an up-or-down vote of it’s own kind — you vote!”
- John F. Kerry, Congressional Record, Page S5486

I suppose your point, in your brevity, is that Kerry is somehow being inconsistent by first suggesting taking the filibuster into the court of public opinion and months later proposing to do just that.
Flippity flop, eh?

I didn’t say it was a flip-flop, and I have no point other than to note a funny comment he made last time the subject came up. I post it because it entertains me, nothing more.
