I tend to agree with you. W gets his three 'most extreme' judges, and we can still blast the filibuster. That said, the RNC may get $$$$ from me, but not for the Senate.

keep your eye on the target.

What do you think the target is? Getting these three nominees a vote? Supreme Court nominees? Compromising principle of not having the president's nominees get a vote for the first time in American history?

I don't understand what the hell is going on here.

The Dems promised to only filibuster in EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES.

But they allow the 3 judges they considered the most extremee, Brown, Owen and Prior..

So are they going to filibuster Saad and Myers???

Someone explain this to me??

I'm out of the party. I'm not a Republican any more. No money goes to the RNC, and I'm so filled with ennui, that I doubt I can muster the energy to vote in 2006.

Frist's incompetence and the RINO-seven's duplicity have rendered me thus. And here I will remain.

Now it's up to the Republicans to coax me back with solid progress. I'm not expecting any.

Next is the nomination to the Supreme Court.

Unless the President puts up some squishy moderate, it will be the "Extraordinary Circumstance" that will trigger the next Filibuster.

And the Republican Moderates will cave again. Once on kisses the boot once, it is easier to do it again. And again.

We do not need another David Souter on the Supreme Court. This whole fight was about making it possible for the President to nominate and the Senate to confirm a principled conservative to the Supreme Court. Now that is impossible.

Mission Not Accomplished.

Sorry, those S.O.B.s have screwed me, and the United States, over for the final time.
As of today I am no longer in the Republican Party.

I was beginning to wonder if all this was an elaborate setup to stick a fork in some RINO's...

this time with "betrayed and outraged moderates" leading the way.

I basically agree. I think in the end this will work out in our favor. However, I cannot -- simply cannot -- conceive of a scenario that will outrage the Moderate Republicans and make them turn their backs on their Democrat masters.

If a nominated judge gets blocked by filibuster again, we can still "pull the trigger" on the constitutional option...

My understanding is , "No, we cannot". But even if that is wrong, it took the Rep leadership 2 effing years of threatening to get to this point. They'll delay it again becuase they are gutless wonders. They lack the testicular fortitude and this agreement is proof positive of that. They agreed to it. They put these RINOs in charge of the negotiations knowing they'd make a deal, and knowing they'd sell out the party in the process.

No money from me unless RNC guarentees the rinos get no piece...but after a day to digest the deal we do get the best 3 and if they filibuster again they will look stupid and the nukes are a flying.

And suppose the Rhino defectors vote with the Dems and defeat whatever nominees are permitted to squeek through?

The DEMS get to "save face" on this deal....and as usual, the Republicans must give another inch.... What is it about a majority that the Republicans just don't understand?

Does anyone believe that the DEMS would have allowed us to "save face" had we been in the minority?
