Well, then you need to take it up with the seven Republicans who made the deal.
These fourteen Senators have leverage now. Frist and Reid are going to have to deal with them. The only alternative is 60 GOP Senators.
The better alternative would have been to go thru with the 'nuclear option". But that's what happens when you elect RINOs and not real Republicans.
Today's events ensures the opposite in 2006.
Correct.
