Folks, this was a great deal for us. We won. [View All]

[Guaranteed]

All they got was two judges. Five judges, two of which aren't even being voted on. Some senators are saying that one of the remaining three won't even be confirmed. Imagine the grey matter spraying on the Freepers' walls when THAT happens.

Further, we retain the right to filibuster any other nominees, and the Repukes have committed, in WRITING, to not using the "nuclear option" until at least the next session. Even then, since they couldn't work it out this time around, I can't imagine them trying to use it again.

So, basically the way it worked out is that the nuke option is DEAD, and they only got two fascist judges out of it. Everything else is the same.

Pop the corks. :)
