There's your "extreme circumstances"

Pro-abrotion Sen. Barbara Boxer of California says she will filibuster the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court if he does not say he is in favor of upholding the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized unlimited abortions.Anybody want to lay odds Frist doesn't have the balls to stand up to her?
Oddly enough, when I did a Google news search, the only two direct hits I got were Life News and Outside The Beltway. Seems that the rest of the MSM are going to give Boxer a pass on this. Go figure.

It's not up to her.

She needs other Senators to fillibuster. Otherwise, she's just blowing hot air, as usual for her. I can't imagine Roberts not getting at least 5 or 6 Democratic Senators' votes. So I don't see a fillibuster happening, no matter how much Babs wants it.

I hope they do filibuster so the GOP can nuke that nonsense once and for all.

I will take odds on Sen. Frist being a pussy. It is par for the course I am afraid.
If they buckle now, all hope is lost. After all, if you can not defend a guy like Roberts, who will the GOP defend?

In all fairness, she was not part of the "gamg of 14," so she is free to do whatever the hell she wants along with Schumer, Leahy, et. al. It is the 7 Democrats who signed the deal that must conclude there are "extraordinary circumstances," and thusfar I hear nothing from them.
