The DEMS get to "save face" on this deal....and as usual, the Republicans must give another inch.... What is it about a majority that the Republicans just don't understand?

Does anyone believe that the DEMS would have allowed us to "save face" had we been in the minority?

They did more than save face, they established that they can summarily dismiss two of Bush's judicial nominees with only 41 votes.

They established that they can obstruct a president for five years with no payback.

They established that the Republican leadership with a solid majority in the senate is toothless and has no control of it's members.

They're not allowing the Republicans to save face while they're in the MAJORITY.

I saw Dingy Harry quoted on another thread saying "the 'nuclear option' is off the table for good."

I guess we can take that to the bank.

After all, we learned long ago which party is running things in Washington.
