Re: your April 28 article, “More than 30 show support of filibusters”:

I noted with interest the whining about the Senate preventing filibusters of judicial nominees mentioned in the article. In my opinion, if Republican senators had filibustered Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Thurgood Marshall, you would have heard piercing screams of racism, sexism and, of course, unconstitutionalism from proponents of filibustering judicial nominations.

It is an interesting exhibition of a double standard in action.
