We have 55 senators, we need 51 to get rid of the stupid filibuster rule. Then we need 51 to get ALL of our people approved and seated. THEN, we need 51 votes to get a ProLife judge on the Supreme Court.

now - we cannot get ALL of our people approved and we CANNOT get a ProLife judge on the Supreme Court. Why, because the stupid Filibuster still exists.

Lots of downside

From 2329:

Although I believe a vote on the constitutional option was certainly justified today, I am glad that it has not been taken off the table for future confirmation debates."

Didn't seem so stupid when the Republicans used it though, did it?

If prolife is your only issue, true, you may be disappointed. If you want a justice who is not activist, but simply looks to the Constitution as it was written, then you may be pleased with the results.

Lots of downside

The issue was the downside to the agreement. Please tell me what downside exists that did not pre-date the agreement.
