and better,

Reid, who understood the deal to mean the nuclear option isn't an option, said Wednesday the Senate should put the filibuster dispute behind it and get back to work on other issues. "We should just move on," he said. "It's over with."

Sen. John Warner, the Virginia Republican who helped negotiate the compromise, said all 14 senators involved understood that the nuclear option wasn't thrown out for good.

"The constitutional option, which we call it, is not off the table and we all 14 understand that. It is very much on the table," Warner told FOX News. "To use an example, we simply unscrewed the fuse. But that fuse can be put back in."


What deal??

It appears the dems here celebrated prematurely again. Or is that immaturely?
lol

re: Let's see just how much pull the "Bipartisan Dream Team" of 14 really have.

If this does fall apart, the loser is the Republicans, big time. I was hoping, purely as a citizen and patriot, that the Senators would ultimately uphold the tradition of compromise. It's what has made this country great.

I'm for bipartisan, you and the Republicans are against bipartisan. What do you think the voters think?

John

An aide in Reid's office told FOX News that Democrats intend to filibuster Myers' nomination; that could bring the entire filibuster agreement reached earlier this week to its knees. Some Republicans have said if judges like Myers are filibustered as an obstructionist ploy, they would throw their weight behind bringing in the nuclear option.

Let's see just how much pull the "Bipartisan Dream Team" of 14 really have.


I am hoping they don't have any.
