I haven't seen this info. in any of the diaries on the filibuster, so here it is - enjoy!
I was so excited when I read this, and I know there's a lot of vote counting on dkos right now regarding which R's might escape the dark side and joins with the Dems to keep the filibuster.
On CNN's Late Edition on Sunday, Senator Lugar of Indiana said the following, as quoted in an LA Times article:
"On the fundamental issue [of the nuclear option], I believe we are skating over very thin ice here with regard to the continuity of life in the Senate as we've known it."
"I'm opposed to trying to eliminate filibusters simply because I think they protect minority rights, whether they're Republicans, Democrats or other people," he said.
