Filibusters

The New York Times' view of filibusters when used by Republicans:

the filibuster has become the tool of the sore loser, . . . an archaic rule that frustrates democracy and serves no useful purpose.

when used by Democrats:

the filibuster, a time-honored Senate procedure that prevents a bare majority of senators from running roughshod

From the Weekly Standard, Air America, New York Times, and more.: "Obligatory New York Times Hypocrisy Item"
