I disagree. When have Harry Reid or Robert Byrd ever been civil? Shrill is more like it and using a tool of the minority to hold up the machinations of the Senate is repugnant and in no way a victory for the country. The Republicans caved on this one and will take it on the chin in the press (ad nauseum) once the debate over a Supreme Court justice begins. IMNSHO all that was gained by the country is more delay in the future by a minority party with no plan other than to obstruct until the next national election. If adhering to the rule of law was in play here then explain why the Constitution's version of "advise" has now been altered to "consult lest ye be fillibustered"?
