Not a bad reach...but still a reach. I say, when you have the win, WIN. There was no need to compromise tonight. I'm not as upset as some are at the "deal", but I'm upset it ever got to a deal.
But we didn't have a win, win. The dems would not have filibusted tomorrow and that would put the filibuster ending option off until they actually did filibuster anyone. They would have waited for a supreme court nominee.
