Talking points memo on the nuclear/fillibuster showdown. I think Joshua is right, this was nothing but a draw from two sides unwilling to pull the trigger, but showed a crack in the GOP lock-step. Its almost like the old cold war, except in our own Senate! I heared Olympia Snow was doing "In Soviet Russia" jokes before the compromise. Seriously, why would the GOP keep any promises when it comes time to replace dying Chief justice Rhenquist? I'm sure they have their Scalia/Thomas clone ready to go.
