Heard an excellent analogy on Bill Bennett's Morning in America .This "compromise " reminded one participant of a
farmer who heard a fox in the henhouse. He grabbed his gun and rushed to confront the fox. The fox worked out a compromise the agreed not to harm the three chickens that had not escaped the henhouse, then, if the farmer agreed to
not shoot the fox, and would not banish him from the hen- house.I like it. It works. I was reminded how a writer many years before the United States was even a dream to any but God. And that writer spoke of a Jew who told his fellow law makers and Judges in the Sanhedrin that it was
better to sacrifice one man(Jesus) to perserve their status quo. I told Ken Salazar the "compromised"Senators worried about perserving Senate rules as abased by the Democrats have determined to sacrifice principle to preserve their corruption.They should live to see their world turned upside down by the stone they rejected.
That's not a good analogy - not yet. All of the ominees are now supposed to get a vote. The DEMs have agreed to vote on all of the nominees - up or down, just give them a vote. That is what was asked for, and that is what they say they are giving. "We will not filibuster, unless the nominee is extreme." Well, Myers is on the Senate Exec Calendar, and has to be disposed of. The gang of 14 does not control when the nominee comes up for debate and a vote.
