The gang of 14 and Democrats may claim their agreement did not include the SC, but the public believes it because the media never bothered to correct the impression.
It does not matter what the Gang of 14 believe that they agreed to. They will not hold together, and Senator Frist is still in charge. I look for and pray for a serious smackdown of McCain this summer, if he tries to go mano a mano with Frist.
