In 1998 Clinton nominated James Hormel as ambassador to the Luxemborg. The Senate Republicans threatened to filibuster, and were backed up by the Family Research Council (Dobson, et al). The Family Research Council said the filibuster was one of the checks and balances in the Senate. Why did they filibuster? They filibustered because Hormel was gay.
