A RE-WRITE!

The Boston Globe editorialized the "gang of seven" to a pedestal, before which they feel we should all bow! Problem is, they got it wrong!

Quote:

  • "The nuclear option required breaking the rules to change the rules. Had Frist done it, he would have proven himself an unscrupulous partisan, wrecked the Senate's reputation for consensus and comity, shown the Senate in thrall to the White House, and hurt the judiciary by seating blatant partisans on the bench."

Re-Write(could have been written anytime in last 4 years):

  • "The nuclear option required changing the rules. The Democrats have done it, proving themselves unscrupulous partisans, wrecking the Senate's reputation for consensus and comity, showing the Senate in thrall to the Democratic Party, and hurting the judiciary by attempting to seat blatant partisans on the bench."

That is a good summary of the real "nuclear option!"
