Not for this Congress. How can this possibly be a good deal?
I'm a "silver lining" type of guy, so I can't see how the Dems could filibuster the nomination of Judge Owens or Judge Brown to the Supreme Court when they passed the Senate with a plurality. Not even Raplh Neas could pull that one off.
I think I would have preferred the nuclear option to be employed, but if the end result is that all judges get an up or down vote, plus they work on other legislative items like making the tax cuts permanent and social security reform, I think that's a win.
Let the Democrats claim victory. Realists will recongnize otherwise.
