Senate power is now held by a "cabal" of six so-called RINOs and sic so-called DINOs. Will this cabal of 12 approve or disapprove of an extended filibuster of John Bolton? If we retain the ability to filibuster Bolton, heck, they can have a few judges.
If this Gang of 12 permits Bolton to be filibustered, we WON - -> big time.
If this Gang of 12 undermines a filibuster of Bolton, we LOST - - > big time.
BushCo was already annoyed with Frist for not handling Bolton's nomination before going nuclear. If this compromise sinks Bolton, watch the neo-cons explode with rage against RINOs, which is all good, for us.
