That CFR thing didn't work out so well. And he's always pulling that Hamlet act. It grows tiresome.
I'm not one of the people talking about bolting the party over this. The Party is fine. We've just got a few wayward Senators who can't seem to recall what the last election was about, and what the result was.
I'm not getting the whole "victory for conservatives" meme.
Oh sure, this thing could work out in the end. The Donks aren't the brightest bag of hammers.
This wouldn't even be an issue if just two of our Knights of the Garter gave a rip about the President's agenda.
I'm so thrilled that, as one persistent poster insists on reminding me, one of the nominees got the nod today. Hey that's great.
Now, despite 55 GOP Senators, we needed a cockamamee deal just to get three perfectly routine court nominees onto the floor of the Senate. What happened to the other seven nominees? Thank you for playing, heres a "victory for conservatives" as your parting gift?
That's just shabby.

The real bottom line will be the Supreme Court nomination(s), won't it? If we have trouble getting our person (assuming she or he is a conservative jurist) on the bench because of the "agreement," then it will be curtains for some of these senators (as far as higher political aspirations go---I am confident most, if not all of them are safe in their home states).
I just shudder at the thought of a third party in 08...we must avoid that.
