Self delete--- faulty questions.

I posted a bad choice. On further review, I've been taught that the "nuclear option" was only to kill the filibuster for judicial nominees, not for all uses of the filibuster. My bad. I'm an idiot. Go about your happy lives and forget about me and my poll.

1. Eww

Horrible choice. Want cake and eat it too. Has to be a way for both.

3. There may be a way for both, but I'm asking "What if there isn't?"

[Deja Q]

2. I think it doesn't matter either way.

One way or another. we're powerless against Big Brother or Mommy (Dearest) Nature.

5. It mattered in December, with the filibuster of ANWR drilling. So it

matters sometimes.

Of course, it may not matter for long. Unless we regain control of Congress, it's only a matter of time on ANWR. But there are other issues.

4. We have a nuclear option, too.

Walk out.

7. Isn't a Quorum in the Senate 50%? A walkout wouldn't help. But I like

the symbolism.

Still, not really what I'm asking. Lump that under choice 2, we swallow our pride and save the filibuster for the few chances we get to use it.

6. Apples and oranges

The deal cut last year applied only to judicial nominations as does the 'nuclear option'.

8. So you're saying the nuke option only kills the filibuster for nominations

I thought changing the rules meant killing the filibuster altogether, not just for judicial nominations. If I'm wrong, then my poll is indeed irrelevant.

9. On further review, you're right, I'm wrong. Apples and oranges. nt.

10. Rolling over has worked so well...oh, wait.

As a reward for the glorious "compromise", we have Roberts and those other 3 fascists on the bench, plus as the Grand Prize for caving in, we're going to seat a racist and a misogynist name Alito on the Supreme Court.

Yessirree, we got ourselves a real bargain!
