The Gang of Fourteen was to preserve the filibuster while they agreed to give a couple of judges a floor vote. Conservatives were backstabbed. To this day we have Five vacancies on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, one-third of the Circuit. The Gang of Fourteen was a leftist triumph.

Regarding Frist, Frist said he was going nuclear and all of the sudden the Gang of Fourteen appeared, orchestrated by McCain. I have little doubt that Frist was indeed going to push the nuclear option. I believe it would have passed, but for McCain’s traitorous actions to conservatives.

Well! I don’t want to beat a dead horse here but where would we be now without the filibuster. It works both ways you know.
