We have a Compromise![*1]
Democrats agree not to filibuster except in “extraordinary circumstances.” Nice. Everyone knows that “extraordinary circumstances” to the Democrats include the existence of a Republican President and Republican majority Senate, which the Democrats have already made abundantly clear that they consider to be illegitimate and not representative of the actual will of the people.
Just watch. We’ll be right back here as soon as the first Supreme Court nominee comes up. On the up side, the Republicans have now utterly enraged their conservative base with this compromise. Oh, this isn’t done by a long shot.
