The window slammed shut on the nuclear option because the less-than-fanatic end of the GOP caucus now has very real reason to question the judgement of the leadership.

Your first post saying that right-wing religious conservative radical fundamentalist Christians (let me know if I left any out) were not in favor of the "nuclear option" left me all confuzzled. Especially, as the first thing I did upon hearing of the death of Terri was to call my two senators and get their stance on the "nuclear option" and affirm my support of them should they choose to take it.

Now, of course, you are saying that it's the religious right's nuttiness that has scared off the moderates. Can't have it both ways, Grand Poohbah. I don't expect this to prohibit you from trying. Carry on apace.

They didn't demand action on the nuclear option; they demanded that Terri Schiavo be saved. In that sense, they weren't in favor of the nuclear option.

They won't. You spent your chips on this effort.

This is one of the reasons I'm opusing out today: we've got a really high number of folks who either cannot or will not read the post, but will reply to what they think it said.
