End judicial filibusters

Brian Tamanaha over at Balkinization has dutifully reminded conservatives of their deeply-held belief that the filibuster should be ended for judicial nominations and that every judicial nominee submitted by the President deserves an up-or-down vote. Rather than tongue-in-cheek tit-for-tat, perhaps respected constitutional scholars such as Professor Tamanaha could follow the call of the president-elect and advance real solutions that both sides can come together and embrace. This blog forwarded a solution to the abuse of the filibuster back in July of 2007: make the filibuster a filibuster again.

Novel, I know. But I think such a scheme just might work!
