Snowe appears....14 senators, 7 Rep, 7 Demos....
McAintIGreat is a scurrilous, double-dealing, SOB . .. and I don't use that kind of language. What heresy -- just to get his face as the "Mediator" .. the voice of reason .. for 2008! I am going to listen, but I have the sickest feeling in the pit of my gut. Take that, George!
7 on each side...
Snowe and Landriex (sp)....where's Lieberman and/or Graham?
McCain has a case of 'Here I come to save the day!' a la F'n Kerry.
seven republicans and seven democrats
stepping away from the precipice
Frist and Reid agree.
This isn't sounding good so far. Naming the traitors now.
14 members (not 12) to avert a crisis in the US Senate which would have lasting impact on the institution.
Thanking each other. It's like the darned Oscars.
Senator Byrd and Senator Warner especially thanked.
This was a crisis???????
Damn it, McCain...you haven't the stomach for the really difficult issues.
agreement says... basically.... to vote for cloture on 3
I feel really sorry for the conservative Republicans. They KNOW what has just hit the fan and they KNOW what's coming from voters. The RNC knows what is about to happen. And it's not going to be pretty.
I expected all these RINO's to be packed together in a clique behind closed doors with the Democrats, but seeing John Warner walk out among them is a shocker.
we got sold out...
No commitment on the other four judges. It goes on.
THREE???!!!!
THEY GOT THREE LOUSY PROMISES TO LET JUDGES THROUGH???!!!
cloture for Brown Pryor and Owen, no agreement on Saad and Myer, filibuster only "extraordinary" judges, will try to prevent filibusters. Not caving on future right to do nuclear option so far.
Who's DeWine's challenger in '06? I want to cut a check tonight.
Anyone else feel like hurling?
McCain: "Mutual desire to see the institution of the Senate function in ways that protect the rights of the minority."
Just three?
Yep... this is not over...
