We really gained nothing. It only would have been a deal if the Nuclear option had been permanently outlawed. As in, we will let you have these judges but the deal is we need a law that makes it illegal to do away with the filibuster. Instead when you read the language what we gained was what we already had...the filibuster. Using their own discretion is what a filibuster is. Every time there is a filibuster it is because SOMEONE thinks there is an "extraordinary circumstance". Nothing new in that. I just do not see how anyone ever saw this as a deal or a compromise. EVER. They wanted the 3 judges and threatened to take away the filibuster. They didn't actually take it, they THREATENED. So, we GAVE them the judges, and act like they GAVE us a new and improved filibuster. We already had it, and they can still threaten. What deal? What compromise? I feel like we are being played by both sides and that is scary.

The way I see it we blew it on the 3 judges, Gonzales, Rice...
Time to get it right. Filibuster all the way, business as usual, unless little all hat no cattle comes up with a sensible choice.

Let them go Nuclear. LET THEM. Dems should walk...
