The filibuster situation is the equivalent of a gang (the GOP villains, fittingly, correspond to the crooks in this comparison) threatening to rob a bank and a deal being reached that the criminals walk away with only some of the money in the bank on the condition that they not rob the whole bank for a couple of years.

Sure, it is better that the Bush cabal's success is less than total, but it is an affront to justice that the GOP get any reward for their threat of illegal activity.

1. I wouldn't be surprised if Reid introduces legislation to forbid

the President of the Senate from making rules changes himself--during this Congress. That would seal the deal.

2. My Analogy is this: A deal w/ a bully not to kick our ass for lunch money!

If you ask me what was resolved today, the GOP like a big bully on the playground basically told the Dems that they promise not to kick their asses if they give them their lunch money and not in the future as long as they continue giving their lunch money in the form of the judicial nominees....And anytime the Dems stop giving the lunch money (aka threatening to filibuster a judicial nominee) then they will kick our asses again....
