It feels to me like it did after the base was all geared up for the Nuclear Option and then the Gang of Fourteen agreed to let the filibuster rule stand as long as it was never used. I saw that as a cave by the Dems then, and I was in the minority, but I think it has been proven correct.
That is not to say that the gang, most notably McCain and Graham will not pay a price for their actions, but the logjam on judges was broken and the filibuster has not come into play since.
We are in a similar place today. As long as the House doesn't cave, we're ok. Since the House passed ANWR drilling today, that will be a great vote in the Senate to get the Rats obstructing energy policy when oil prices are high.
There is a lot of time left.
Sounds right.
"Since the House passed ANWR drilling today, that will be a great vote in the Senate to get the Rats obstructing energy policy when oil prices are high."
I hope you include in "Rats" the Republican "Rats" who sold our Country out on illegal aliens today and will vote against drilling in ANWR,such as my Senator, Rat Coleman.
