It will be interesting to see if the 14 can hang together or not. I would guess that Linsey Graham has sealed his fate in SoCar. He was very foolish to involve himself in this. Imagine how he will feel when Bryd loses in 2006.

I agree, those who made the deal on both sides have no guts or principle

Here's an informed opinion: Bush will very quickly nominate Mike Wallace, a lawyer from Mississippi and former Rehnquist law clerk, to the Fifth Circuit.

The Dems will freak because Wallace was Trent Lott's counsel for the Clinton impeachment- as conservative as they come.

Aren't you being a bit EXTREME. There must be some strategery involved. Certainly, no Republican can be dumb enough agree to a deal like this, if there is no bigger victory lurking around the next bend in the road. Relent! Continue to give to the RNC! After all, if it weren't for the Moderates in the Senate refusing to convict Der Schlickmeister, we would be starting the 2nd term of President Algore and with all the comity shown by Senate Pubs, who knows what the courts would look like.

How could you move for a rules change without a filibuster? And, as I told you, enough Dems would have voted for cloture to prevent a filibuster and preclude an opportunity to introduce a rules change motion.

Actually, the US Constitution provides for the US Senate to make its own rules. It's Article I, section 5, clause 2.

The GOP Senators did not want to change the filibuster rules. I don't blame them, IF THEY INTEND TO FILIBUSTER FUTURE DIM OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM JUDICIAL APPOINTEES. That to me is the implied long term promise.

That is what they got. If for giving up two of the seven, they kept their right to filibuster future Dim radical left appointees AND THEY USE THAT RIGHT, then it is not as bad a deal as some make it out to be. In addition, I think Bush should now reappoint Estada and then appoint him to the US Supreme Court in June.

Tonight the Senate has worked its will on behalf of reason, and behalf of responsibility. We have sent President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and the radical arm of the Republican base an undeniable message: abuse of power will not be tolerated--will not be tolerated by Democrats or Republicans. And your attempt, I say to the Vice President and to the President, to trample the Constitution and grab absolute control is over." --Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV

I simply cannot stand that man.

I think the GOP saw this deal as a chance to get a "bird in the hand." We get votes on up to 7 judicial nominees, don't have to risk going nuclear, and can threaten to nuke at a later date. I don't see this as a bad deal at all.

Very nice tip. That would quickly make this deal show dividens or bring it crashing down.

Stephens, Inc., also helped introduce the BCCI virus into US banking in 1978 when it arranged the sale of Bert Lance's National Bank of Georgia to BCCI front man Ghaith Pharoan. (The head of Stephens, Inc., Jackson Stephens, is a member of President Bush's exclusive "Team 100," a group of 249 wealthy individuals who have contributed at least $100,000 each to the GOP's presidential-campaign committee.)

Is this a MoneyChanger?

That's generally nice. However, you trust the Democrats much to much. I suspect that they would nuke the filibuster the second they felt it was getting in their way.

youre absolutely right....once again there is a blatant disregard of the constitution. this 'deal' stands the real meaning of 'advise and consent' on it's ear.
