So it was not a real offer? I wondered because of course the Dims can vote cloture on all without any GOP agreement.
Correct, what DICK Durbin 'offered' was not feasible - and he knew it.
I've been lucky enough to watch or listen to all of the 'debate' thus far, only missing about two hours, and I can categorically state that thus far the dems have not said one thing that was what we would call "the truth".
The latest lie being spewed is that current AG, Alberto Gonzalez said that Priscilla Owens was a "judicial activist". This lie has been spewed so many times by the RATS that Gonzalez had to issue a statement stating that 1) his quote was being taken out of context and 2) he was refering to himself.
Has this stopped the dems from saying this on the senate floor - nope. Every time a RAT says this a Republican corrects him when its their turn, but the next dem up says the exact same lie.
IMHO they don't need the "nuclear option", the dems in the senate need to be sued for libel and slander - or better yet a closed door meeting with "Mr Fist To The Nose".
