and on the same page, we find a letter writer, who, obviously never went to school:

Although the media keep talking about the "nuclear option," there's nothing that explosive about the plans of Senate Republicans to end the filibusters against President Bush's judicial nominees.

The Republican plan to stop the blockade of the president's judicial nominees isn't nearly as radical as we've been led to believe. All it really involves is restoring constitutional order to a process that's been hijacked by the Senate liberals. By restoring the number of votes needed to confirm a nominee to a simple majority - not the supermajority required to end a filibuster - conservatives hope to stop the madness that has prevented 10 qualified judges from even getting an up-or-down vote over the past two years.

The bottom line: Restoring Senate tradition to end the minority's obstructionism must happen sooner rather than later. That's the message our senators need to hear from us.
