...and now the 23 or so Pubbie Senators who voted against Cruz's point of order really look stupid.

Good point.

I would argue the twenty three see history as a process rather than event.

The process continues with much better chance of favorable results beginning in January

Senator Cruz made his point. There are presently a twenty two. With four more from the new batch there are twenty six......

That was Senator Cruz’s message

Disputing one of the best legal minds in the country (Cruz) is par for the course with these treasonous RINO bastards.

I beg to differ. I feel it shows the opposite.

The first question in my mind was: Which President appointed this Judge Schwab? ANSWER: George W. Bush

LESSON: The Presidential power to make judicial appointments has major consequences!

The next question in my mind was: With mere hours remaining in Emperor Harry's Glorious Reign to cram in everything he wanted, but was not guaranteed to get due to the game clock running down, was the cost of "The Ted Cruz Weekend" really worth it?

Was it worth it to have a vote that all sides acknowledged was only symbolic anyway, and which only got 18 Yes-votes in the end .. was it worth more to us (*especially* long-term!) to win this symbolic prize, when the price for it was Cruz's gift on a silver platter to Harry Reid of an extra weekend to ram through a whole slew of Obama's handpicked radical, young, lifetime-tenured, mindless-leftist-kneejerk, higher-court judges, to move the Dems towards their goal of Ethnically Cleansing the court system of the few remaining Judge Schwab's still there?

Let's see a show of hands: How many think a Democrat-appointed judge would rule as Schwab did? Any hands up? If so, leave it up if you think one of the young radical judges being confirmed right now as we speak, in Harry's Brave New Filibuster-Free Senate Hearings, would have ruled as Schwab did? Anyone?

And what crucial decisions will be made in future decades by these appointees who are so radically out of the mainstream and whose confirmations were so obviously DOA under the old filibuster rules, but whose future value to Democrats was so high, that Dingy Harry struck down the filibuster just for them?

Maybe those 23 don't look so silly. The 18 who voted for it sure aren't. Haven't made up my mind on Ted yet. But it'd surely be interesting to know how many of those 18 secretly wished Cruz hadn't made such an awful trade.
