DEMs voting to move ahead were Zell Miller and Nelson, of Nebraska.
Your insight and commentary have been excellent and the voice of sanity. Thank you.
We begin this deal by getting our three appellate judges confirmed.
Meanwhile, we have hope and opportunity of getting social security reform passed and the tax cuts made permanent. Had the constitutional option been exercised this week, the likelihood of the Bush legislative agenda getting through the Senate would have greatly diminished. So, in essence, both Frist and the White House are buying time.
Get the major legislation enacted this summer, and then return to the remaining 7 judges and we'll see the bad faith from the RATS.
I still think this "deal" is better for the GOP than the RATS, because the American people will not stand for a well-qualified Supreme Court nominee to be filibustered.
