Princeton Students Filibustering Frist

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]britzkrieg)

I think this in on-topic, considering the importance of the judiciary in defending religious liberty.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, [Princeton] Class of '74, is preparing to change Senate rules to prevent a Democratic filibuster of judicial nominees. This "Nuclear Option" would end the institutional role of the Senate as a deliberative body that respects minority views, and judicial nominations could be approved without even the minimal degree of mainstream acceptability that had previously been necessary...

To protest this destructive move, members of the Princeton University community have come together to hold a non-stop "filibuster" outside the Frist Campus Center (a building sponsored by Senator Frist's family).
