I know it's The New York Times, and it's unnamed sources being quoted. But with tonight's sacrifice of principal for comity, anything is possible. I can even imagine copies of the Constitution being flushed down the Senate toilets.

Don't be surprised when the "Maverick" seven Vote against Owen and Brown. The deal that was made is much worse then we know.

Do you know which of the 7 Republicans Senators are Pro-Choice?

Am I the only one to notice that Graham and DeWine are ON the Judiciary Committee?

The foxes are in the hen house.

I want to kick these senators butts so hard that they would never again "sit down together". The business of the senate is irrelevant - they are there to do the business of the Country, and their fun little club is nothing but a ripoff of the people that elected them.

The written agreement singled out the nominations of Myers and Saad as not being guaranteed an up or down vote on the Senate floor.

Then use Saad's nomination to establish the constitutional option. It has to be done sometime.

Saad being tossed aside is a favor to Carl Lenin.

If this deal does through, then I will vote Democrat in 2006. At least I'll know what I'm voting for! Clearly, I've been mistaken as of late.

This is really offensive. The president's nominees are being sacrificed to uphold what? The "principle" that other nominees can be blocked, too?

My forlorn hope is that the White House objects to this deal.

From another Freeper:

BUSH CANNOT PERMIT THIS TO STAND. If need be, he must choose July 4th as the line on the sand. Bush must tell the Senate: "You will allow an up or down vote on EVERY nominee by July 4th, or on that Independence Day, I shall recess appoint whomever is fillibustered, and take my fight to the people, and against the obstructionists, in the midterm elections"

Sounds good to me.......

well, gee, I'm shocked! But then some wish to spin we won still.

Mr. President, tell the Congress to go to hell. Strip these RINO's of all benefits. Recess your appointees and fund challenges to the likes of DeWine and the rest.

Congress is now as much an enemy of this country as the Judiciary.

Let's be honest & call a spade a spade here. This "deal" is a power grab by a legislative body of an executive power. This "sense of the Senate" comes out as being more important than leveling off the imbalance of power that the Constitution option was supposed to start to fix.

I watched Susan Collins breathlessly exclaiming to Chris Matthews tonight, how wonderful this compromise is "for the sake of Congress" or some such.

These people don't seem to understand that we could give a flying flip about "the sake of Congress." We're more concerned about the survival of our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC and our SUPREME COURT.

I knew this was coming, but I figured that the Rats might at least wait long enough for the ink to dry before they broke their end of the "deal."
