What other planet should I live on?
______________________________________________________
You might try living on this planet where:
1. if you have to have cooperation in the future with an advisary you don't rub their noses in it.
2. if you might want use the filibuster laters say to block a Dim gun control bill, you don't eliminate it for juducial nominees IF that is not required.
But heck you pretend this is football and you should score as much as you possibly can in one particular battle as you play a completely different team next week and I will live on this planet where GOP Judges have been confirmed and Warner/DeWine/Graham say the rule change is on the table should the Dim filibuster this upcoming SCOTUS nominee.
Without the McVain mutiny, the GOP judges would have been voted on and confirmed (or not, in the case of those which had some Republican opposition) - and the Democrats would have decided whether they wanted to force the Republicans to break the filibuster on a party-line vote.The Democrats don't actually know if they will ever get the majority back, at least in the tenure of the present incumbents. After all, the Republicans were in the wilderness for a very long time, and they could also have that experience. So if anyone knows that they need the filibuster, it's the Democrats - and what do the RINOs do but fold like a cheap camera!
