Dole on the Nuclear Option
NPR's Steve Inskeep scores the big interview with the former Senate Majority Leader (via Daily Kos).
NPR: Your former colleagues in the Senate are debating judgeships pres bush's judicial nominees, and one thing under consideration is maneuvering to do away with the filibuster.It's not surprising that Dole, a long time Senator who served both in the Majority and the Minority, does not believe the Republicans should move so quickly to implement the nuclear option. Perhaps his former colleagues would be well served to listen to him.
DOLE: I think you have to be very careful, that's my advice, before you start tinkering with the rules. I mean the rules have been changed before. You want to think down the road. The Senate's going to change. It's not always going to be Republican. It changes back and forth. History shows that.
