I suggest you read the deal again. The seven RINOs have unconditionally taken the Constitutional option off the table until after the 2006 mid-term election. Unconditionally. All the RATs have to do is play the "extreme" card on ANY judge they want and the RINOs CANNOT cry foul because they agreed that the RATs have the right to vote their "feelings." If one of the seven suddenly develops a spine and cries foul, the RATs will pounce on that person and give them the same treatment Carville gave GHWB when he compromised on his "read my lips" pledge. As you can plainly see by all the commentary on FR, the base is not going to support these 7 RINOs. The RATs are salivating at the thought of 7 bare-knuckle primary fights that will clear the way for them to take the seat and control of the Senate.

"Reid said the agreement sent President Bush, Vice President Cheney and what he called the "radical arm of the Republican base" the "undeniable" message that "abuse of power will not be tolerated."
Quote from CNN Web

Excuse me, but who exactly was abusing power? This is what the gang of 7 gave to us? This is the victory? This is why we should keep our powder dry?
