(Goodwin) Liu's nomination was blocked by a Republican
filibuster Thursday -- the first successful filibuster against a
judicial nominee since Democrats stopped all 10 of George W. Bush's
appeals court nominees from 2003 to 2005. Although no one back then
could have predicted that today's fight would be about Liu, everyone
knew it was going to happen sometime. Once Democrats crossed the line
to filibuster those Bush nominees, you could bet Republicans would
strike back. And now they have.

This is the first hint that Republicans might have developed a spine. Too bad they didn't have it when considering Obama's Supreme Court nominees.
