New Senate Minority Leader Threatens Filibusters if Controversial Judicial Nominees Not Confirmed
According to an observer at the Federalist Society's National Convention, Senator Mitch McConnell made this statement:
Forty-nine is not a bad number of Senators to have, in a chamber that requires sixty to control. And I can assure you that our Democratic friends will give President Bush's judicial nominees a floor vote - if they want to get anything done, in a chamber that requires 60 to control.
UPDATE: Senator McConnell also went on conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt's radio show on Wednesday and made similar comments.
