It can't freaking get any worse.

I respect your opinions, but I share this informed opinion from Bench memos on National Review:

About the Deal
[Sean Rushton 05/23 08:33 PM]

Two quick points responding to the moderates’ deal on judicial filibuster: 1. The national center-right coalition opposing judicial filibusters, and the Senate leadership, will continue to push for an up or down vote on every qualified judicial nominee.

2. The fact that Senate Democrats are willing to allow cloture on Owen, Brown, and Pryor indicates that conservative judicial philosophy cannot be considered the basis for a filibuster, or an “extraordinary circumstance.”

Sounds about right to me.

We'll see.
No definitions.
They can say they voted for those judges in exchange for the deal - nothing more.

Lanny Davis claimed that this "compromise" save the nation from the wing nuts of both parties and brought the country back to the "center".

This is how to nullify the last election, make certain that the president's second term is one where absolutely NOTHING he wants gets done, including getting ANY judicial nomination through, and polishing HITLERY's image as a "CENTRIST", up and running.

If that crap you posted "sounds right", you're deaf as a door post.
