About time!

The Senate confirmed Judge David Hamilton to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals 59-39 Thursday after breaking a GOP filibuster Tuesday and a five-and-a-half month delay.

Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), who represents Hamilton's home state of Indiana, casted the lone Republican vote for the judge.

This obstructionism by the Rushpublic party not only got in the way of the vote, it got in the way of something much bigger: democracy.

This gumming up the works has gotten out of hand, and it is further destroying the GOP. On the bright side, who needs opposition research when they do such a good job destroying their own credibility?
