Major Garrett just said the Dims lose on this one. The 3 most conservative judges go through and now if others like them are nominated how can dems call them extreme when the other 3 got through with help from the Dims.

I believe the deal is that they would vote for cloture on those three.
Not "the same as," but rather "precisely that."

Line from Yahoo News item:
With the series of climatic vote set for Tuesday, compromise-minded senators of both parties met in the office of Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., for a last stab at compromise
Yeah, that "last stab" may be in the back of the GOP base.
Whatever "deal" has been reached has to work its way through the Senate in the form of votes. CSPAN-2 is quiet right now =:-O

Lindsay said he was a wuss and was scared of what the rule change would have meant.

"We need to turn over Congress every term."
That is a very good idea.

I am with you! I'm am so so disgusted that I will probably for the first time not vote other than for the position of the president. The republicans just do not learn.
To: cfo
I encourage you to go over to DU and see how they feel.
We got the better end here, believe me.
It looks like we weren't even sure to get 50 votes for the nuclear option.
If they abuse it now, we'll be able to talk more of the RINO's over.

I have absolutely no idea why ever one in here is going nuts....we lost nothing and gained a up or down on three
Dems win because the Democrats can still & WILL filibuster President Bush's Supreme Court nominees. This will mean no chance to overturn Roe V Wade. This is all about abortion. May God have mercy on our country if this "agreement" holds.

"no forfeiture of our rights to change the rules when the democrats act up again" In your dreams--the Dems will use that tactic on the Republicans after the next election. Republicans have no guts to follow through, but the Dems sure do. I am so disgusted and sick and tired of justification and strategy crap. Repubs wanted an UP or DOWN vote--right.
To: Cboldt
Assuming you are correct and I have misunderstood the agreement, I am simply further sickened.
What a bunch of self-serving cowards.
To: Hildy
Okay Hildy - I don't see any kind of win here - I just see the REPUBLICANS doing what they always do - bowing and scraping to the threats of the dems.
I'm so angry I had to turn off my TV.
Please explain to me why you think we got the best of this deal .. and even if we did - DO YOU THINK FOR ONE MOMENT IT WILL BE SPUN THAT WAY BY THE MEDIA ..??

So what if they do, you nuke em and also make political hay over the disingenuous liars that they areI quite frankly don't believe the Republicans have the cajones to begine pushing red buttons for the nuke option.

I don't understand how Reid can be pro-life and associate with Senate democrats.
To: Skip1
Exactly the position we would be in if the Dims just stopped filibustering these nominees
