Well, it seems that the nuclear option has been avoided. Republicans have once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They bowed to media pressure and fell for the "minority rights" bullshit. Some of President Bush's strict constructionist nominees will get their vote, but Democrats have retained their "right" to filibuster other "extreme" (read: Conservative) nominees.
And of course we all know that if the tables were turned, when the tables are turned, "minority rights" won't amount to a hill of beans. If Republicans ever decide to filibuster, then the nuclear option will be the first resort to the Democrats.
This makes me sick.
aint it sumthin how bof sides cum out mad bout thisn? i guess thats whut ye git with a compromise.
