Centrists from both parties reached a compromise Monday night to avoid a showdown on President Bush’s stalled judicial nominees and the Senate’s own filibuster rules, officials from both parties said.

I just hope the Pubbies have read Sun Tzu :)
I am so sick of this phony crap, sick of talk radio sick of people with total job security as being in power with no consequence of their actions. This party be damed and all who lie down with these dogs.
"Extraordinary Circumstances"=Any and all Judicial appointees, especially those to the SCOTUS, who happen to, or may be suspected of being, a single milimeter to the right of the looniest of the extreme left wing zealots.
The Senate Republicans have betrayed the issues,most dear and most important to the heart, soul and conscience of we who sent them there, just like they always do. Seems they would rather grovel for a smidgen of faux respect from their enemies, than to respect the wishes of we who sent them there.
Next time we must see that the only votes they get is from the left wing sonovabitches they serve.
Quite possibly. You expect intellectual honesty from them?
As far as I am concerned, John McCain is a Democrat. I intend to call his office day and night, night and day to encourage him to cross the aisle. I also plan on actively campaigning to not just destroy his Presidential ambitions, but to destroy him PERIOD. I used to detest what was done to him in South Carolina. Now, I only wish and wish hard, that his experience in South Carolina is magnified 1Billion times. I want this guy to have his political career ruined. In my mind (and granted, I am pissed off right now) he has stained his service to this country today by stabbing the very people who elected him in the back. Eff you Johnny Boy, you are nothing but a media attention whore.
I also am making Lindsey Graham a project. This is the ultimate back stab. Better to be in the minority than to have a majority like this.
This is the END ,...... republican majority is going to be seen by ALL americans as Spineless because thats what the Rats will be Broadcasting for the next 3 years! This and the Teri Shiavo quandry. I Predict Losing the White House and Majority in at least one Branch of COngress Next term.
The idea is that there is not a commitment to the death by all opponents---only a few---and to allow the enemy a way out so that you do not force ALL to fight to the death, but to fritter away and splinter. Sun Tzu. Pretty smart guy.
Me too. McCain probably read him and forgot him when he ate the strawberries. :)
lol - I guess some things just bear repeating!
Sure...Let's stick with the impotent Republican Party...If the Dems are going to run things when the Repups are in charge, it makes far more sense to vote for the anti-Dems, not their allies with the big R...
Who decides? What a bunch of cowards, led by MccccccCCCCCaaaaaiiiin!
Sen. Bill First should remove committee assignments and chairmanships that signed on to the foul deal!
I understand the frustration, though.
But if that is your final answer, good luck in your future political affiliations.
