The National Right to Work Committee and the Gun Owners of America, two groups normally allied with Republicans, have bolted from the party's effort to ban judicial filibusters -- the first major defections from a conservative push to prevent Senate Democrats from blocking President Bush's judicial nominees. Despite GOP leaders' assurances to the contrary, both groups said they fear eliminating judicial filibusters could eventually lead to doing away with filibusters altogether.

Two groups normally allied with Republicans have bolted from the party’s effort to ban judicial filibusters — the first major defections from a conservative push to prevent Senate Democrats from blocking President Bush’s judicial nominees.
The National Right to Work Committee, a 2.2 million-member group critical of unions, and the Gun Owners of America, with 300,000 members, say they fear eliminating judicial filibusters could eventually lead to doing away with filibusters altogether.
