Really, you would think the Republicans had proposed to rape the Statue of Liberty. This might be a good time to close the loop by reviewing why I got into this in the first place. I was responding to JDN's assertion of an absolute "right thing" to do. He said, "We dont need individuals [in the Senate] incapable of doing the RIGHT THING in something so important as this." I have tried to point out that there are other legitimate perspectives on what is the right thing. >>An interesting feature in the dispute is that some of the hardliners are former House members, and there the tradition is that the majority exercises the authority of the majority with no shedding of constitutional tears over imperiled or lost traditions.<< I think that using brute force undermines any perceived rightness. I don't know if you've been exposed to the corporate exercise of analyzing whether the entity is doing right things right, right things wrong, wrong things right, or wrong things wrong. Whether or not this is a right thing, it's being done wrong and there is a cost to that.
