Well, I'm not.
Splitting the funds 50-50 didn't get us one conservative judge appointed, did it? In fact it got us nothing but our hand bitten. If we'd stuck to 2/3-1/3, they might have demanded that when Jeffords jumped, but we'd have it back now and they'd have nothing to use as a weapon today. Lott and McPain gave them the weapon.
But I blame Lott the most.
Amen! It was Lott that gave us the stupid "precedent" of 50-50 power sharing anyway. Thank GOD in Heaven he is no longer SML!!!!! Lott was a liability not an asset.
