Krauthammer on the Deal
By AndrewHyman Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Charles Krauthammer has penned a piece titled "Profiles in Flinching" that concludes this way:
[DeWine and Graham] both say that if the Democrats start to filibuster again, they will defect back to the warm embrace of Frist and go nuclear. Will they be willing to forfeit their newfound celebrity and stature as statesmen? That would be a profile in courage.
If DeWine and Graham are willing to be tough with the rest of their "Gang of 14," then the deal may turn out to have been worthwhile. But, if Graham and DeWine are not willing to go "nuclear" in order to defend the Senate majority's right to advise and consent, then the deal will have been really unfortunate.
