Well, if that's the way it's commonly defined ("nuclear" option), fine. That's not the way I define "nuclear", so I'll change my nomenclature to fit the imprecise terminology, i.e., not all-out, everything goes.

I didn't confuse apples and oranges. I suspect the snide remark was because I happened to disparage your club.

The "nuclear" option, which has been discussed here on FreeRepublic for more than a year, off and on, has ALWAYS concerned just the filibuster over judicial appointments. No one has EVER suggested getting rid of the filibuster generally. So, you are barking up the wrong tree.

And I am curious -- what is the "club" that you think I am a member of, and which you wish to "disparage"? I'm not much of a joiner of clubs, so you may have another misconception going on.
