Public Rejects the Republican "Nuclear Option" in Schiavo-like numbers

David Broder in the WaPost: "And current efforts by Senate Republicans, with the explicit backing of the White House, to eliminate Democratic filibusters against some Bush judicial nominees were surprisingly rejected in the latest Post poll. By a margin of 66 percent to 26 percent, the voters opposed changing Senate rules to make it easier for the Republicans to confirm Bush's judicial nominees."

That's 3-1 against getting rid of the filibuster on judicial nominees, an enormous margin.
