Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid accused President Bush on Tuesday of steamrolling the Senate in preparation for a Supreme Court vacancy. "This fight is not about the seven radical nominations; it's about clearing the way for a Supreme Court nominee who only needs 51 votes -- not 60," said Reid. "They want a Clarence Thomas -- not a Sandra Day O'Connor or an Anthony Kennedy or a David Souter." Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said a filibuster showdown over nominations could come by next week.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid accused President Bush on Tuesday of trying to steamroll the Senate in preparation for a Supreme Court vacancy. The Senate’s top Republican said a filibuster showdown over judicial nominations could come as early as next week.
“George Bush wants to run the Senate into a second House of Representatives, a rubber stamp for his right-wing agenda and radical judges. That’s not how America works,” Reid said.
