Those FReepers (not you, but they know who they are) should look into a mirror if they want to blame someone for the problems in getting the Const. option through.

The Constitutional Nuclear Byrd Option is under the control of the opposition, it is under the control of the people who abuse parliamentary procedure. Just like your kids are in charge of when they get spanked.

But this issue is not going to go away quietly. Myers and Bolton are on the Senate's executive calendar. With the Senate vote on them? Well? And what if it refuses to grant unanimous consent to vote on either of those nominations? Does the GOP cave then? If so, then it HAS caved on the princile. But so far it has not, and indications are that it will not. Not without putting the Senators on record.

Exactly. It's like putting your kids in charge of the household.
