I've got my rootbeer float that I didn't pay for and I'm celebrating two great victories.
1. We saved the Republic from destroying the effectiveness of it's government. The Filibuster compromise. Because of this, we preserved what our founding fathers intended and kept ourselves from George Washington's greatest fear. We didn't essentially lose the Senate to becoming like the House. The Senate's purpose is to act like a cooler for government, cooling down the superhot action of the rest of government. It should be used to keep one party from getting too much power. Now because of the compromise we've preserved the Republic. And extraordinary circumstances for filibustering another nominee are not so bad. Looking up extraordinary in the dictionary, it's about the same as unusual.
2. We averted War with Iran. John Bolton hasn't gone through. It's the fourth week since he was last up on the Senate floor. George Bush refuses to turn over incriminating documents about him, so the Senate won't stop blocking his nomination, so the Republicans won't seem to bring him up.
John Bolton would twist arms at the UN and in the intelligence community, same as with the war in Iraq, to produce evidence that doesn't exist for war with Iran. He has it in him.
So we avoided war with the second largest producer of natural gas and preserved our freedom from tyranny. Worth this rootbeer float IMO!
