Centrists from both parties reached a compromise Monday night to avoid a showdown on President Bush’s stalled judicial nominees and the Senate’s own filibuster rules, officials from both parties said.

[kennedy]

Under the agreement, Democrats would pledge not to filibuster any of Bush’s future appeals court or Supreme Court nominees except in “extraordinary circumstances.”

Who would have ever thought that the GOP Senators would have folded to Democratic Demands?

The last time I was this surprised was this morning when the sun came up.

The Capitol switchboard is still open.

Leave as many voicemail messages with the RINOs as you can.

Then keep calling them tomorrow morning when the staffers get in.

The RATS consider extraordinary cirmcumstances the same way as abortion doctors consider health reasons for abortions.

Translation of “extraordinary circumstances.” = if Bush makes a nomination

Was Warner kissing Sheets Byrd during the press conference? It looked like they might be lovers.
