Must read quotes collection

Over at Free Republic, Peach has collected statements from Democratic Senators explaining that filibustering judges is not appropriate. A must-read collection.

A couple of highlights:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA): "Our institutional integrity requires an up-or-down vote." (Congressional Record, 10/4/99)

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT): "I have stated over and over again ... that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported" (Congressional Record, 6/18/98)
