For you Bush and Republican Bashers, ignore the facts and continue hyperventilating, you useless pukes!
The nuclear option is on the table? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! The seven Republican senators know they have more power than the majority leader. There will never be a nuclear option now. Never.
Do you really think these rinos will ever allow the nuclear option back on the table?
A. Future Nominations. Signatories will exercise their responsibilities under the Advice and Consent Clause of the United States Constitution in good faith. Nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist.
B. Rules Changes. In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement, we commit to oppose the rules changes in the 109th Congress, which we understand to be any amendment to or interpretation of the Rules of the Senate that would force a vote on a judicial nomination by means other than unanimous consent or Rule XXII.
The RINOS explicitly relinquished the constitutional option for the remainder of the 109th Congress. The 'Rats reserved the right to filibuster in 'extraordinary circumstances' (without definition.)
No, No, No! There is no more nuke option! It's history. Caput. We lost!
