Im sorry, I wont defend what the Repubs have done here (filibuster compromise). You can spin it anyway you like, but we have been sold out. All the time, effort, and money expended to get the Senate makeup we voted for, was just wadded up and thrown back in our faces. If you are okay with that, thats your problem. If it makes you feel better to attack the guy who is questioning the wisdom of defending the betrayal, go ahead. I wont defend it. Our party promised us an agenda we believed in. The agenda begins with the judiciary. This is the main reason we needed the Senate in the first place, our pick for the Bench, remember?? Now we have the Senate we needed and they didnt come through. Yes, there is a time for compromise, but the filibuster issue was not the time for it. The RNC failed us, the Leadership failed us, and it will remain to be seen whether a pi**ed off electorate fails us. No compromise! Or maybe you like seeing the smirk on Bidens face?
And Bobs 1997 seniority date should shield him from calls for his zot, something USUALLY reserved for DU trolls. One of the first members of a CONSERVATIVE forum wonders aloud whether it was all for naught, our work in getting Republicans elected, and some members with considerably less time call for his ouster-THAT was my point..
