I don’t understand any of this
But here’s Hoffmania on the deal that was made to avert the “nuclear option.” To me it looks like one of those “bipartisan” things that kneels to one side and bows to the other, pleasing niether.
In other words, I pretty much agree with Jesse Taylor at Pandagon:
“For all the talk of constitutional protection and constitutional assault, this honestly just feels like the nonconfrontational guy at work calming down everyone long enough to leave for the evening and come back the next day – nothing’s solved, and if the Supreme Undead Court decides to stick around past the next election cycle, it renders any agreement necessarily moot.”
Oliver Willis, on the other hand, seems more convinced this was a win for Democrats.
