Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said today he does not expect Republicans to filibuster President Obama's nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter.

"There aren't enough Republicans to do that," Reid said during an appearance on NBC's "Today" show. "I would also say this: The Republicans, when they put up this big battle on the nuclear option, one of their reasons for doing this is that they didn't believe that judges should be filibustered. So I don't know how they could do that intellectually, now come back and try to filibuster a judge." Reid was referring to threats by Senate Republicans when they were in the majority to declare that filibusters on judicial and other nominations were unconstitutional.
