Precisely.
I never thought I'd see a circle jerk televised from the Senate TV gallery, but ....brbrbrbrbrbrbbr.....here it is.
So nothing's changed. Or, rather, we get Owen, Brown, and Pryor, and then the Dems will take up the filibuster again, charging "extradinary circumstances," with the hope that because they let three through, they'll regain the PR advantage and this time make the filibuster stick. That's how I'm reading it.
In other words, this is no big deal at all. It simply kicks the nuclear option can further down the road. Right?
