Dobson 0 Democracy 1. The compromise wasn't result I'd personally hoped for but it's much better than the alternative. The loss of the filibuster wasn't about the nominees in question right now folks. It's about the upcoming loss of our Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the tools needed to ensure fairness in the process of confirming a new one.
The truly unexpected and enjoyable aspect of a rare bi-partisan agreement is watching the freeper-esque head spinning of the vast right-wing stupidity. Anger over a joint agreement between the parties? It's not siding with the enemy, it's called negotiation... an activity commonly found in many governments internationally and even in some of our state level offices. The "winner take all" approach is a rather juvenile playground mentality and works better in marbles and war. Stick with what you know.
