In other words, this is no big deal at all. It simply kicks the nuclear option can further down the road. Right?

"Yes, the Dems punted. And to do that they had to agree to allow 3 judges, while the Repubs did not concede any judges.Watch closely. You're about to learn how to read between the lines.
We just got screwed out of our one chance to impact the next 40 years of judicial decisions.
Unless W has the balls to override this BS compromise and marshal whatever forces remain loyal, it's over.... period.
Cheers,
Lloyd

... this does look very much like a Red team win. ...
At best it's a stall. These 12 weenies won't be able to stand up to the pressure. They have been identified and they will be cut to ribbons by their party and voters. It just delays the day when Frist will have to do what he has to do.
McCain will never be President. He won't be able to win the primary and I (and a large majority of Red Voters) will vote for Hillary over his sorry, pathetic ass.
The whole Senate is a pathetic, sorry, joke. It's just a clear demonstration of what large government produces.

They only allowed 3? Three will definitely get the up or down vote. No committment on the others. They will go forward, and if the dems try to filibuster, we've retained our right to change the rules.

There's no leadership here. Frist is in control, not McManchurianCain. They have done nothing but made a deal amongst themselves. 14 < 100

We should start an effort to recall two senators. The first one is Frist; that guy isn't qualified to poor piss out of a boot. The second one is McCain, and we all know why.

"Good grief, McCain. Laz will get more primary support than you will at this point and I don't think he's running."
I think Laz is really still too broken up at losing the papal election to even consider the Presidency right now. But a few years can change a lot.

Thanks for your words of good cheer. I'm trying but have had a bad day all around.
I'll live to fight another day but it might be a while.

To: traderrob6
I have absolutely no idea why everone in here is going nuts....we lost nothing and gained a up or down on three. Because they are telling us to TRUST the Dems
The Dems will SCREW US OVER when the USSC Judge is picked
This was the time to deal with this BS
They sold us out!!
