A fillibuster is pre-ordained. The democrats will find some fragile excuse to proclaim Roberts as being an "extraordinary circumstance." (For example, Mr. Roberts, isn't it true you wipe your arse after deficating?) The MSM will back up the dems. (For example, isn't it racist to wipe your arse?)
The question will then be, what does McCain do after he has been made to look like a fool? Will he admit that the "deal" is worth shit and vote for the Constitutional Option or will he engage in the same pretzel twisting exercise as the dems to find Roberts to be an extraordinary circumstance? I say he pretzels.
Wonder what Lord Lindsey of Graham is thinking?
