Will anyone clean up the Santorum on the Senate floor? Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania said Democrats have abused the filibuster.

"The audacity of some members to stand up and say 'How dare you break this rule,'" Santorum said on the Senate floor Thursday.

"It's the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, 'I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me. How dare you bomb my city? It's mine.' "

"Sen. Rick Santorum says he 'meant no offense' by referring to Adolf Hitler while defending the GOP's right to ban judicial filibusters as Senate leaders prepared to start a countdown Friday to a vote over whether to stop minority senators from blocking President Bush's judicial nominees. 'Referencing Hitler was meant to dramatize the principle of an argument, not to characterize my Democratic colleagues,' Santorum, the No. 3 Republican in the GOP leadership in the Senate, said of his remarks Thursday....[Democrat Robert] Byrd came under fire in March for comparing Hitler's Nazis and the Senate GOP plan to block Democrats from filibustering. Santorum, a Pennsylvanian, criticized Byrd's remarks at the time, saying the Nazi references 'lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate.'" [Associated Press| May 20, 2005].
