Senate GOP Hopes Deal Will End Filibusters

Senate GOP Hopes Deal Will End Filibusters: "'The United States Senate is a minority rights institution unique in the world,' Hagel said. 'And I don't think either side wants to give that up. Now, the other part of this, which I also believe strongly, is that presidents deserve votes on their nominees.'

Yet he noted that Republicans prevented votes on many of President Clinton's choices for the federal bench.

'The Republicans' hands aren't clean on this either. What we did with Bill Clinton's nominees _ about 62 of them _ we just didn't give them votes in committee or we didn't bring them up,' Hagel said."

My gosh. Hagel tells the truth. Will they drum him out of the GOP.
