some compromise!

Senate Votes on Filibuster Agreement

Owen, Pryor, Brown to Get Up-Or-Down Votes

So, the Dems "compromise" is that the repugs get what they want and the repugs "promise" not to change the rules and block filibusters in "extraordinary" circumstances. Of course, we know that their word is golden!!!! And, we know that they consider these far-out-of-the-mainstream loons to be perfectly acceptable, so their definition of "extraordinary" is going to be pretty extreme!
As far as i can see, the Dems won nothing and the Dems and the country lost a lot if these wackos are approved. Very sad...
And yet the repugs are feeling "betrayed"! That is how far gone they are! They don't even know when they've won!
