7 Republicans abandon GOP on filibuster
Seven Senate Republicans bolted from their leaders last night and dropped their support for the "nuclear option" in exchange for seven Democrats' abandoning filibusters against three of President Bush's judicial nominees.
"This is really good news for every American tonight," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said moments after the deal was announced last night on live television. "This is a significant victory." That sounds like BOOOOOOOOOO!!! HISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! if ever I heard it. Lest we forget, before it became KNEE-JERK LIBERAL, the press was KNEE-JERK CONSERVATIVE.
