then McCain and most of the other RINOs will beel obligated to vote to end judicial filibusters in the future.

This would happen in a world with reasonable men and those that feel shame. Unfortunately, the real world we face are fill with people who seek one and only one thing -- power over our lives. This so called compromise in NO way gives the Reps any advantage. The Demos single goal is to destroy this Republic and morph it into a Social Democracy. Reasoning and agreements mean nothing to the demos. The only way to restore this Republics greatness is if the Demos are destroyed politically and the big spending Reps reigned in.

Basically this deal was set up to make the Democrats and RINOs "feel good" but the REALITY is that the standard has been set with the 3 judicial appointments now going through. The Democrats can in the future claim that a judicial nominee as conservative as those 3 are unusual and break the deal. Result? The vote to end judicial filibuster will be passed and Bush will get his nominees. Think ahead a few moves. Also those claiming the RINOs would still oppose ending judicial filibusters in the future. That equation has changed. At least 3 of them would support ending filibuster because of the Democrats breaking their word.

SHEESH! This is started to remind me of the time when Merv Griffin claimed victory in the purchase of some resort hotel from Donald Trump. It wasn't until months later that Griffin found out that he actually got snookered by Trump. Or should I say, "trumped" by Trump.
