Brown, Owens, and Pryor get voted up or down. The rest will still be subject to what we are going through at the moment. This means that the so-called "Nuke" option is still on the table.
Do I have this right? And if so, what exactly did the RATS get out of this?
They get to delay the Byrd Option until they have a better argument to make.
See post 547.......that's where the concern is....but, I think you're right with what the Pubs got....
I guess it is just more fun for some folks to run circles and scream.
Yes, you have it right.
In other words, trust the Democrats to keep their word. ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It means NOTHING!!!
Only three will get a vote. This is media hype by McCain and his 11 other "buddies" to be liked by the OLD MEDIA.
You sound like me. I'm doing the same thing...
The Rats got two things out of it:
1. The PR victory-- make no mistake about that. We will be hearing about it every day for the next year, and so will the accursed "undecided" voters.
2.They are now secure in the knowledge that they can count on these six RINOs (who will be praised as "statesmen" for the next year at least) to do the same down the road, when we reach the next impasse, because of #1.
Those are two very, very large victories. And we're supposed to be happy about a measly THREE judges?
Frist ought to be spanked hard for not pushing the button last week. The Dems didn't have six turncoats last week. He waited too long. Somebody turned over the weekend.
And those six ought to go join Jim Jeffords, for all the good they're doing the Republican party.
