If they do, we will still vote to change the rules. Graham, Dewine and Warner have all indicated that they will take away the filibuster if they use it.
Look at what they did to bolton.
Bolton will be confirmed soon.
The key summation of this is that the Rats won the right to keep filibustering as long as they don't filibuster.
When that happens...I will breathe easier. To me, it all comes down to Bolton.
I understand the dynamics, but am still mad at McCain and the others (not so much at Graham, and Dewine, though).
I must adimt, I do like the irony. I think for the deal to have been a plus for the donks, they had to stall Frist's judicial agenda and get some consessions from RINOS to "backdoor-torpedo" some of the juges. Frist is not going to let it happen, so it looks as if in the end he is going to use the deal to snooker the donks and RINOS. Graham and Dewine will nuke the donks if they fililbuster. I think that the rinos, MSM and media, DUmmies and KOSacks are just starting figuring this out. Filibustering bolton was a huge stratgeic mistake for the donks.
