Unchained gang?
What will become of the Gang of 14 if Democrats filibuster President Bush’s Supreme nominee? Senators Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy are promising a filibuster, calling it an “extraordinary circumstance” if Bush picks a pro-lifer.
Lindsey Graham (Republican and one of the 14) says he doesn’t think “differences of legal opinion” should qualify as ‘extraordinary’.”
Sounds like the Gang will shortly be unchained, in which case Republicans will have made the sweeter deal on the so-called filibuster compromise. Their most conservative picks have now been approved, and the upcoming Supreme filibuster was going to happen regardless.
I may owe someone an apology.
