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?

YES

Supreme Court nominees?

YES

Compromising principle of not having the president's nominees get a vote for the first time in American history?

NO.

Getting the up or down vote is the target in this issue. We get that, and still have the constitutional option in our holster, I'm satisfied.

What principle? There are plenty of Presidential nominees in hour history that never got a floor vote, but were quietly killed in comittee.
