Just Breathe…

I admire Senator Cornyn’s attempt to put a happy face on The Deal and, while I see his points, I’m of the opinion that he’s putting varnish on a turd on this one. Polish it up all you like, it’s still just shiny excrement.
There’s also talk of a verbal agreement to throw the other two outstanding judicial nominees, Kavanaugh and Haynes, under the bus along with Saad and Myers. Disgusting.
The only high point is that Bill Frist’s office is apparently taking the tack that this deal hasn’t been ratified by the other 48 GOP Senators and that they may push to get all nominees a floor vote, basically pulling the carpet out from under the moderates. We’ll see.
UPDATE: See my partial walkback on this issue.
