Filibuster Compromise Comes back to haunt Dems.



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Uh-oh. Washington Post reports on the danger facing Dems. based on the filibuster compromise from the Gang of 14:

The pact, signed by seven Democrats and seven Republicans, says a judicial nominee will be filibustered only under "extraordinary circumstances." Key members of the group said yesterday that a nominee's philosophical views cannot amount to "extraordinary circumstances" and that therefore a filibuster can be justified only on questions of personal ethics or character.
This is going to be real trouble if when Bush nominates a real whack job.
