Compromise on the little things, stand firm on the big ones

It's much harder to win on the big things, such as judicial nominations, when you give Schmuck Schumer 40+% (instead of 33%) of the budget, money he can use to dig up dirt and hire P.I.'s on every nominee.

Look at it this way. Instead of giving Chuckie Schumer 7% more than you wanted to give him, he's getting 10% less than he wanted.

What I've read on the other thread is that the split is 60/40.

This makes me sick.
Have the Repubs never learned how to play hardball? So accustomed to being the minority? So blankety-blank eager to get their hands on the gavels?
The MONEY and the STAFF are so important, especially in Judiciary!
