I don't think you get it. If the dems wouldn't have had the votes tomorrow night they would have punted. They would have approved cloture on Owen and there is nothing the republicans could have done to bring up the filibuster ending option. I have no doubt that they would have saved the nuclear option for a supreme court nominee.

Excellent point - the RATS are playing scorched earth politics ... But until the Pubbies advance, they won't burn the village ...

Thanks.
Linsey Graham sounded like he would have voted to end the filibuster if the dems would have filibustered Owen.
