Yeah? What's the compromise between abusing the rules and playing by them? Only abusing them when you're really, really, really upset?

A compromise is a republican sell out.

This "compromise" had better not mean continued filibustering in the future. What I'm hoping is that the Dems realized they would lose if they attempted to filibuster Owen and, having realized this, decided looking (late last week) for a way to be able to say they "reached compromise" rather than "got horsewhipped."

To compromise with the democrats means they will betray your good will at election time as they did President Bush's father over taxes.

As predicted the GOP caves. Whatever it is ANY compromise is a defeat for our side.

This just may turn the Senate over in 06.

Hopefully, it is nothing more than they all agree to vote for cloture and proceed under regular order to vote on the Owen nomination, thereby preserving the fiction that they can filibuster later on if they so choose. If it is something we give up that should not be given up, if we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, the Repubs will rue the day.

Any compromise on THIS issue is SURRENDER.
