Sure, a filibuster probably wouldn't work - and is frowned upon anyway by minority leader Tom Daschle - but any delay at all provides Ashcroft's adversaries with time to build up their arsenal, which, while probably incapable of bringing down Ashcroft's nomination, could serve another, longer-term purpose: By lodging deeply in vulnerable congressional Republicans, the Dems' ammunition may poison GOP reelection efforts - and even shift the balance of power on Capitol Hill...
