Today's WSJ.Com's Opinion Journal featured article has an interesting take on "the deal":
What a charade. This ballyhooed "compromise" is all about saving the Senators themselves, not the Constitution. Its main point is to shield the group of 14 from the consequences of having to cast difficult, public votes in a filibuster showdown.
You know, this just might be the reason. Also see my post on what makes these guys behave this way - "An explanation for the filibuster fiasco."
The WSJ went on to say this ...
We don't often agree with North Dakota Democrat Byron Dorgan, but he had it about right when he called the deal "legislative castor oil. It averts the showdown vote tomorrow, but I doubt it's over."
Again, I agree ... it ain't over as long as people like Byrd, Kennedy, and Schumer are anywhere near the party.
