Remember Glenn Close in the bathtub at the end of Fatal Attraction? Here's the GOP version:

Republican leaders, pressed by conservatives furious over the demise of Miguel Estrada's judicial nomination after a six-month Democratic filibuster, will resurrect the nomination of Mississippi federal Judge Charles W. Pickering Sr. tomorrow.

"They're outraged over it everywhere I go," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I've given you these links before and I'm giving 'em to you again:

People for the American Way on Pickering.

Joe Conason on Pickering.

No surrender.
