Turns out that "cave" was much ado about nothing, right? We got 8/10 (so far). We gave up nothing. The "principle" will be violated by the Dems, and we'll outvote them anyway.

Just like I predicted months ago, it's a win win for us.

BTW, one of the "gang of 14," Graham, was on Hannity talking like Attila the Hun: he said that the deal did NOT include USSC positions as "extraordinary circumstances." (As I said it would not).

Always take what they give you . . . THEN come back and take what you have to.

Have we really gotten 8 of 10? Who is still waiting for confirmation?

I hadn't followed it.

I was quite angry at the cave, because I saw it as part of a pattern of misconduct. But the President restored my confidence in his domestic leadership this evening.
When crunch time came, he did the right thing.
Bless him.
