From the NYT,
Vice President Dick Cheney plunged the White House into the judicial confirmation battle on Friday by saying he supported changing the Senate rules to stop the Democrats from blocking judicial nominees and would, if needed, provide the tie-breaking vote.
This pretty much means the GOP is going to go nuclear soon and do away with the filibuster. I know it's going to hurt us now, but this abuse of power will come back to hurt them more than they can imagine. Of course this comes after Bush pledged to Reid that the administration wouldn't get involved. Go figure.
