A bit of an overreaction here?

Come on, people. Wait for the real battles to happen when SCOTUS nominees come due.

No reason for Repubs to lose their cool now. Politics is a game of compromise and picking the size of the hill you're willing to die on.

Just because you have the power to crush your adversary does not necessarily make it wise to do so...yet.

Exactly right! - The fact is we get all our current judges that are held up but two confirmed now - And we can come back another day to fight the ugly filibuster battle if needed (during the supreme court nominee).

In the mean time we got most of the judges we wanted through and we can move on other legislation (like Soc Sec Reform!!).

We are winning big time! - Way too many on here need to cowboy up!! and stop crying.

You are wrong. Frist won't have the opportunity to exercise the nuclear option again. He needs momentum to do that, and the Democrats and RINOs seized the momentum from him. From now on, they will control the Senate. That means, they will have the say on social security reform as well.

Same ol garbage thats been shoved down our throats for 4 years. Trust, be patient, elect Rebpubs in 2002/2004 and things will change, blah blah.

Look, the Dems do something thought beyond the bounds for 200 years. All we had to do is get 50 out 55 senators. The Repubs caved. THEY CAVED. These freak'n RINO have stabbed us in the back.

Just give up. Its all over. McCain is a Freak'n democrat. Graham is a tratior.
