If you want to read the transcript from the Senate hearing on Bolton's nomination, here it is.

Powerline has another transcript, an excerpt of one of the funniest exchanges between Biden and Bolton.

Hugh Hewitt has this pithy explanation of the filibuster issue:

All weekend long every GOP senator should tell every newsman and constituent:

"There was exactly one refusal to close debate on a judicial nominee in the entire 20th century, and that was a favor to a sitting Supreme Court justice about to be embarrassed by defeat who withdrew his nomination immediately afterwards and resigned soon after because of ethics problems.

Since January, 2003, there have been 20 different refusals to close debate on judicial nominees. This disfigurement of Senate tradition, disguised as the appropriate application of a rule intended for legislative debates, must and will end."

That is it. That is all there is to the argument on the filibuster.

Michelle Malkin puts together a nice collection of links and quotes on yet another Cinton scandal- fundraising, this time, so it's all clean, family friendly fun. As you read this, do compare these details to the accusations surrounding Delay, and compare the media coverage of the two as well.
