You just know that ratbas*ard John McCain has his
hand in this.

Bad news for the repubs, and all of us.

To: jern
As predicted the GOP caves. Whatever it is ANY compromise is a defeat for our side.

This just may turn the Senate over in 06.

To: jern

Any compromise on THIS issue is SURRENDER.

To: jern

FNC....Major Garrot.....Dems will retain filibuster in the future for 'extraordinary circumstances'.

GOP will get votes for nominees (number not determined).

This soesn't sound good.....looks like a cave to me.

To: Mo1
Frist is done as a serious Presidential candidate....he can't control his caucus

To: PubliusEXMachina

Is the DU gloating or commiserating themselves?

To: RightWingMama
Can Frist be removed? If so, who might take his place?

If I were Frist I would be looping my necktie around a ceiling rafter about now. How that SOB can go home and face his family is beyond me.

1. No, Only Shitting On Our Leadership Will Make Some Happy Catwoman

and all this bullshit blathering without even READING THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT:

Future Nominations. Signatories will exercise their responsibilities under the Advice and Consent Clause of the United States Constitution in good faith. Nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. The 3 fascists to be seated aren't "extraordinary"?

"each signatory" didn't seem to think so using their "own discretion and judgement".

Apparantly, their "own discretion and judgement" guided them to bend over for Frist and sell the nation out.

[ClintonTyree]

16. And you take the Republicans at their word?

What color is the sky in your world? The Slugs can still go nuclear any time they want to, and don't think they won't. And it will be sooner, not later.

[FlemingsGhost]

2. Yeah ... knuckle draggin' neophytes always cheer me up.

Next time, give some warning, huh?

Seriously.

[CatWoman]

5. NO!!!!!

:P

[tsuki]

3. I cannot believe that even such bottom feeders as the Free Republic

can not understand that to overturn a 217 year-old tradition of the Senate is a positive thing. Conservatives are supposed to CONSERVE.

[madrchsod]

4. i thought it was from du but

i see the freepers are just as crazy..is the lounge safe?

[CatWoman]

6. Yep

they're chillin.........

[merh]

7. Catwoman, do you remember how many extreme nominees they

had on the list? Wasn't it 8 or 10?

Thanks for the post! I am not upset about the compromise. I am disappointed in the reaction here.

Some folks can't even celebrate the victories. :shrug:

[mzmolly]

8. I hear ya, it makes one wonder.

:freak:

[merh]

10. It's pretty scarey.

:scared:

[CatWoman]

9. Heh

me, I take it whenever and wherever I can find it.

Especially since Coup 2000

:hi:

[merh]

17. Okay, so they gave 'em 3 of 8 - seems like pukes lost!

Okay, so they gave 'em 3 of 8 - seems like pukes lost!

"Negotiators are hoping to craft a deal that would allow some nominees to be confirmed while leaving others behind. One plan would allow final votes on Owen, California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown and former Alabama Attorney General William H. Pryor, as well as Michigan nominees Susan Neilson, Richard Griffin and David McKeague. The nominations of William G. Myers and Henry Saad would remain stuck."

Part of Deal
Owen
Brown
Pryor

Not part of deal
Neilson
Griffin
McKeague
Myers
Saad

12. It's not his family Frist has to worry about.

It's Dobson, Robertson, Falwell and shrub. Oh, excuse me, they ARE his family.

[Mr_Spock]

13. Cute

Both sides extreme people think they caved - must be a good compromise then!

[SmokingJacket]

14. Frist had about as much chance of becoming president as

your cats.

This was all a big wetdream for him, anyway.

At least that's over.

[CatWoman]

15. HEY!!!!

Any one of my cats would make a MAGNIFICENT president!!! :D

Especially compared to what we have now :D

[SmokingJacket]

18. Oh, I don't disagree!

I'd prefer one of them ANY day!

Just the little problem of the, you know, stump speeches...

[ebayfool]

22. I'd vote for Streak any day ... & I happen to have a little gal named

Spitter that would make an excellent Defense Secretary ... she makes grown men cry! LOL

[Straight Shooter]

20. Ewwwwwww.

NEVER mention Frist and wetdream in close proximity to one another.

Some images should never be allowed to exist.

[rocktivity]

19. Now that the initial shock has worn off

I see the situation isn't as dire as it appears. If Frist AND the extreme right wing are unhappy about this, the Dems couldn't have screwed up THAT much.
