Filibuster compromise

[Gabu]

Personally, I think that this particular agreement is stupid, because of course there aren't going to be many Republicans who will perceive any of Bush's appointments as "extraordinary", and since it's an entirely subjective issue, they'll just yell about it no matter what if any Democrat tries to filibuster anyone at all.

Regarding whose side I take, I don't even really care, as this issue is one of my cold-button issues.

It seems more Republicans would compromise and more Democrats just want to have it their own way.

Neither really compromised, from what I know of the deal.  The Republicans still have the nuclear option and the Democrats still have the filibuster, so it seems to me that we're basically right back where we started, except for the fact that three judges get to go up for a vote.
