Note to those on my left: Joe Lieberman supports the filibuster.

Sens. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) and Ken Salazar (Colo.) on Wednesday planned to express support for the judicial filibusters taking place right now. But in the past, each man has expressed a different view on the topic of filibusters and judicial nominees.

In an interview with the Rocky Mountain News editorial board on Nov. 8, 2004, Salazar - then a U.S. Senate candidate - said he favored an up-or-down vote by the full Senate on judicial nominees.

The newspaper's editorial board wrote at the time, "We hope he sticks with that position even if his Democratic colleagues-to-be lean on him, as they are almost certain to do."

And Sen. Joseph Lieberman - speaking in January 1995, when Republicans were the majority party in the Senate - stood up for the "rights of the majority."

Lieberman called it unfair for Democrats to use the filibuster to "confuse and frustrate the will of the majority."

In January 1995, he and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) introduced a measure that would have eliminated filibusters designed to kill legislation or nominations that had majority support.

The Senate ended up tabling the motion.
