So, other words, we win on three judges and the rest are still to be determined. We can nuke them then if necessary.

We threw noone overboard. We won on every judge on the floor today. We reserve the right to nuke them if necessary.

It's not a total surrender by the Democrats, but it's tantamount to it.

At the very most, it's a face saving measure for them. Surrender with dignity.

Are you totally stupid? You, and others, act like these same RINO's won't stop any "nuke" option in the future.

Geez, take of the blinders.

You could not be more wrong. The republican deal makers have sworn not to change the rules in this COngress. The democrats have not sworn not to fillibuster judges. Where does this leave us you ask?

With Rehnquists replacemetn fillibustered to death. That's where.

we commit to oppose the rules changes in the 109th Congress

Not for this Congress. How can this possibly be a good deal?

It wasn't the Democrats who surrendered and there was NO dignity.

WRONG!

We got and up or down vote on 3 judicial nominations, lost out of 7, made the "nuclear option" off the table for the foreseeable future, and McQueeg's pulled off a coup de tat on Frist, thumbed his nose at President Bush, and French kissed Sheets Byrd's arse, on T.V.!
