Advantage Environmental Republican

Last month I commented on the Senate filibuster deal here. I called it a win and the next night said this:

The majority of Americans weren't paying close attention to the fillibuster debate, and if they were, they only heard the names Janice Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen. If they heard those names, they heard that they were evil conservative radicals who would ban abortion, ban homosexuality and do all those other things that evil conservatives do.

Those two women will be confirmed in the next week or so. That is why this is a win for the Republicans and President Bush. The Donkeys vilified these two women and now they will be sitting on very high courts with the agreement of the Democrats.

Today in the WaPo, They ran an article that said this:

Democrats generally cheered, and Republicans groused, when a bipartisan group of senators crafted a compromise on judicial nominations last month. But with the Senate now confirming several conservative nominees whom Democrats had blocked for years, some liberals are questioning the wisdom of the deal and fretting about what comes next.

"Our problem with the compromise is the price that was paid," Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said yesterday. She and other Congressional Black Caucus members plan to march into the Senate today to protest the impending confirmation of Janice Rogers Brown.

I'm not one to say told you so, though.
