Victory for Whom?
Yesterday 14 moderates, 7 Dems and 7 RINOs compromised on the fillibuster deal. Some say it's a victory but for whom:
OK, here's what went right.
-Nominees like Priscilla Owen and Janice Brown got the up and down vote option.
-The Fillibuster threat was stopped here.
-Other nominees may make it through.
Here's What is Wrong:
-Democrats can hold power to fillibuster, later.
-Democrats can fillibuster when they determine what are extraneous circumstances for nominees- ie they're Christians.
-GOP cow-towed and did not exercise its MAJORITY TRADITION.
Wow, give us a drink before you do us like that. Thanks a heap, McCain you moron!

Frist has not signed on to any agreement. If the Donks try anything later, he still has all options on the table.
This agreement has no merit whatsoever, and will only serve as a tool to try to make these scumbags look good to their constituents.
