The Senate spars over Bush judicial nominees and filibuster rules amid party loyalty and constitutional debate. Republicans cite Priscilla Owen as a test case while accusing Democrats of delaying a vote. Democrats echo concerns about governing norms and the balance of power in judicial selection.
Senate leaders move to end debate on Bush nominees with a cloture petition filed by Cornyn. A test vote is set for Tuesday, with possible move to declare filibusters illegal if it fails. Moderate lawmakers seek a bipartisan deal as Specter pledges quick hearings and a stance against litmus tests.
The proposal would exempt judicial nominees from the filibuster, allowing a simple majority to confirm. Currently a three-fifths threshold ends filibusters, then debate may continue up to 30 hours. Democrats threaten to stall business if the plan advances as discussions center on Bush era appeals court nominations and renominations.
