Could someone enlighten me on something please. Last night, McCain, after announcing the compromise to end the filibuter, went out of whis way to say, "Not all the nominees will be confirmed."
How does he know that? If all seven are to get an up-or-down vote with no filibuster, how does McCain know, in advance, that not all will be confirmed?
Was he tipping his hand?
Was a deal made where the RINO's barganed away four of the seven?
If so, how could this be considered a short or long-term victory for Republicans?
I didn't hear the comment, but you could well be right. I expect one or more judges may well be tossed overboard, which will definitely tick me off.

I wouldn't call this deal a victory in either sense. I don't view it as a disaster like so many around here, but due to the PR damage done with its base it's IMHO a strategic loss/setback.

When McQueeg said that, a chill ran down my spine. I knew then that he had sold out to the RATs. That, and all of his talk about "trust" and "the rights of the minority". What a bunch of cr@p!! McQueeg has come full circle -- he once was a prisoner of war who supposedly didn't rat out his fellow officers, and now he is a traitor to his party -- ratted out the GOP -- big time!
