It seems neither side was happy with this "deal."

[popdonnelly]

Neither side is happy because both sides felt they were giving up on principles.

What the filthy fourteen have done is the exact equivalent of what unelected judges do when they take deicisons not based in the inalienable right concept out of the hands of the people and their elected represntatives.

They sour the debate, remove it from the public square and create enmity on all sides in their wake. It really is amazing how the founders of this country recognized that way back when and the elite in this country are oblivious to it now.

I think the conservatives screaming bloody murder right now will like this deal once they get their collective heads out of their asses...

The deal comes down to this: we won't impose the nuclear option so long as the Dems don't filibuster. Any judge that the "Moderate" 7 Republicans would consider "extraordinary circumstances" won't have their support in any event, and they'll be voted down on the senate floor in an up or down vote. If the Rats try to filibuster someone the Rinos would otherwise support, the nuke goes back on the table.

What we have now is a de facto nuclear option. Sen Graham said as much on the radio today. He said Brown, Pryor and Owen are all in. All pending nominees will get votes, but one is likely to go down to defeat on a bipartisan basis (he didn't say who - but probably Saad).
