We won. Don't be fooled by the extra-testosterone-high spin of the ultras here. We get every judge, regardless of the language. McLame is through, as is Hegalian. Bush will get Bolton and his legislation. Once again, brilliant strategery.

We get every judge, regardless of the language.

We get votes on them. Or the Constitutional principle will resurface when the DEMs refuse to vote on one.

Some of the nominees are apt to be rejected, and if the rejection is "to keep the deal we made," instead of on the merits of the nominee, well whoa, Nellie - that is mighty unprincipled. The people will see it.

I don't think I'm engaging in 'wishful thinking', but your three posts here are essentially the germ of my thinking - I'm not convinced that Frist got toasted yet, though - he's still a player depending on how things work out going forward from here. McCain --- well, I think this was his swan song.
