Filibuster deal

So, the Democratic Party acted in a way that is good for America (protecting the ability of minority viewpoints to effect legislation), and in exchange for granting this privilege, the Republican Party got to do something that was (mildly) good for them...

What makes this strange is that the Republicans are acting like this is a major defeat for their side. I suppose it might be-- if their goal was not to get certain judges appointed to lifetime positions, but rather to utterly crush the Democratic Party (until 2006)...

Of course, if that is the actual goal of the Republican Party, I have got to wonder why it is the Democrats who are accused of having no real ideas...
