22. Do you think the judicial appointments are less important that these bureaucrat jobs?

It is complete crap to make a deal that does not guarantee that Obama's judicial appointees will get a timely vote.

And we know how this little game works. This is the last deal for another 6 months. There won't be a bit of action on the nominees that were not on this list. The Dem cowards will not take any action until the GOP has stalled for another 9 months. We'll be back here next March talking about Lucy and her football all over again, meanwhile the GOP will have gotten themselves another 9 months down the road without our judges being on the bench.

So in essence, he got the nominees, with a slight delay, and he keeps the gun pointed at them. backscatter712 Jul 2013 #4

Why should this be seen as a "cave"? Proud Liberal Dem Jul 2013 #23

Exactly. The Republicans caved rather than get nuked. backscatter712 Jul 2013 #26
