You're correct. I believe that if the rats filibuster it would only take two of the slimy seven pubs to break the agreement and the nuclear option would move forward again.

I posted early that Rush called Frist's office and they told Rush's people that all nominee's were to get up or down votes. Know one is crossed off the list.

I think this is more of a cease fire than defeat after mauling it over. By letting those who the rats called the most extreme move forward for a vote and promising to allow them through, it has raised the bar a lot higher for a nominee to be considered extreme and justification for any filibuster.

In the end, we may win this war by attrition by always holding the nuclear option over the rats heads like a hammer waiting to crush their skulls.

As soon as the rats begin to filibuster or crow about it, they will break the 14 moderates and the agreement.

They can filibuster all they want without breaking the agreement, as long as they don't do it on Owens, Pryor, or Myles. Period. Any of slimy seven who goes back on the letter of the agreement will be pilloried in the media. They know that, and it will be a powerful incentive to keep the letter of the agreement. These "people" did what they did in part to get into the good graces of the MSM, they won't want to face being on the wrong side of that same MSM.
