"Rightwing Partisans Hate Filibuster Deal"

[Bluebear]

The dems have moved the ball towards being able to filibuster a supreme court nominee. They have won, it is pretty simple.

Absolutely disappointed. How can you negotiate with the Democrat's abuse of power in the first place! Is this not the truth! 60 votes was never intended to be required and the Democrats know it. They are abusing power, not the Republicans!


The instant analysis of the filibuster deal is giving the win to the Democrats. The real winner, of course, are all Americans of good sense. But the conservative blogosphere is enraged, as exemplified on Michelle Malkin’s roundup of rightwing reaction.

Most partisan conservatives are upset that only three justices are guaranteed a vote and are convinced that the Democrat Centrist’s will abuse their promise not to filibuster future nominees except under “extraordinary circumstances.” Their anger is understandable. After all, when you adopt a winner-take-all approach, you lose if you don’t take all. And losers are often sore.

1. Good, now let's trying going WITH that, instead of arguing AGAINST

it.

Not you, Bluebear. :)

2. I know.

Perception is reality. I wish we could just frame it as a delightful turn of events. "Democracy saved for the moment despite Fristian's attempt to give absolute power to King George."

3. The Democrats, as usual, caved and "won" zip.

As in nothing, nada, zilch. So what if the repugs are complaining about winning only 99.99% of what they wanted. We lose.

Oh, yeah. We got a "promise" they wouldn't nuke if the "opposition" party dared to whimper loudly.

4. I really don't understand the bitching, except that its DU and 1/3

of the posters are always pissed.

5. I reckon, RB!

I'm happy that Dobson is pacing the floor in a tizzy tonight!

6. Can't you imagine......He must be going through total meltdown

He has been humiliated by his hired help and he won't be happy about it. He's already been in a spat with Trent Lott. This could get very, very fun.
