The Princeton Filibuster against Frist going stronger than ever; it’s just about to enter its 75th hour. Congressman Rush Holt will be speaking in a few minutes, and there’s also going to be a cell phone rally, in which people at the filibuster will call every senator to urge them to reject the nuclear option and save the independent judiciary.
Democracy in action, folks. I love it.

This is the best thing. I love it too.
According to the Trenton Times, "Word of the protest also has reached Frist's office at the Capitol. "I'm glad that the Princeton community is actively engaged on this issue," said Frist spokesperson Nick Smith in an e-mail. "(Senator Frist) appreciates dissenting views and would encourage current students to make the most of their Constitutional right to free speech." "
I read that, and I'm glad the filibuster has reached him. Malcontent that I am, though, I mentally added "...while they still have it." to the end of Frist's statement.
