The seven have shown they won't vote for a CO.

You seem to have a finger on the pulse of DU

They seem even more unhappy than we do about this. Lots of them threatening to resign and stop contributing etc etc.

I hope for a little less drama and a little more analysis by Republicans. The seven could well vote for CO if the Dems use the filibuster. Only two have to decide that the Dems are filibustering on a "non-extreme" case, and the CO wins. Nobody has defined "extreme" in the agreement, which makes it worth less than the paper it is written on. Meanwhile we get guaranteed up/down votes on some of the nominees.

Personally I would have preferred to win tomorrows vote. But to claim this is an apocalypse is simply overstating the case. My opinion. Be as upset as you want. But I'm not sure it accomplishes anything other than blowing off steam.
