All Estrada has to do is answer the questions. If he doesn't answer the questions, then he doesn't get confirmed. Simple as that.

It just so happens he's Hispanic.

Republicans are going shrill over this. They think the Democratic Filibuster is "race-baiting."

There's no racism going on here. I direct a blizzard of filibustering to the Senate. Until Estrada answers the questions.

If he answers the panel's questions, then he'll get confirmed. Simple. If he doesn't, then he should look for another job.
