Le Shorter: Stand and Be Counted

Majority Leader Reid has finally, emphasis on finally, decided to make Republicans stand up to filibuster the Levin-Reed proposal to bring the majority of our troops out of Iraq by April 2008. Previously, the requirement of continuous debate was dispensed with and a Senator could stop a bill from being voted on its merits by merely filing an objection. Senators may get tired, but they also make a lot more than minimum wage. Will the delusional please stand up.
