When you wash it all and hang it up to dry, nothing really changes except three judges get confirmed. Then we dance again.

My guess, the dims' hope is a judge comes up in the rotation that they can find a better attack for.

But the damage is that it is now going to get harder to say judges are too conservative, now that they let Owens and Brown through. The dems are still teetering on the edge.

ONE of the things that happened, is that FRIST GOT NEUTERED by McCain.

McCain showing that he can defy Frist and the Republican Majority -- with the help of other rogue RINOs and Democrats.

Is there any way to recall McCain?


Basically we have a NEW MAJORITY: the DEMOCRATS, aided and abetted by 7 RINOS.

THIS IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

And Frist stood by and was not able to stop this.

Saad and probably Meyer get thrown under the bus.

I can't read fast enuf to absorb all the comments here, BUT...

what did the Republicans lose? Nothing, that I have seen.

What did the Dems lose? The 3 judges who are "most conservative" will not be filibusted. And they did not lose face.

It looks like everything else is the same as usual.

Am I missing something? I know that the devil is in the details, but...
