Thanks. I guess we resolved the Biden mischaracterization.

You got that right. Will the Right come to regret as Obama has, refusing to even consider, let alone using an obstructionist tactic like a filibuster, their tactics?
Is the use of the filibuster to block the process similar to refusing to even accept a nomination as O'Connel has said? 
Obama regrets his tactic. And his actions have come to bite him in the butt. You can call it "convenient" as a way of questioning his sincerity, but does that make it ok for the Senate to refuse to consider a nominee? 
And will that refusal help or hurt Republicans in the upcoming elections?
