Two of the best pieces I have read on this debate come from two gentleman affiliated with the Peter Jennings Project. Lyle Denniston summed up and broke down Justice Roberts strong words on freeing up or remaking the process of appointing judicial nominations. But Bruce Akerman’s piece in todays WSJ – arguing that the legislative filibuster is the best target- is gold.

Denniston’s piece at Scotusblog:

Akerman at WSJ- you only get the summery unless you have a script, which is tragic. I would like to cut and paste it up here but I’m in no position to mess with Rup’s firewall.
