Have the Republicans finally realized that they have gone too far?
Last week, they seemed to be signaling a readiness to get on board with regulatory reform. Maybe. There were also some mixed signals, like meeting with top Wall Street lobbyists.
Today on Fox News, Senate Minority Leader Mitchell McConnell said it would be "highly unlikely" they would filibuster Obama's Supreme Court nominee: "Unless the nominee is an extraordinary individual, outside the mainstream, with really bizarre views."
Again, it remains to be seen what they call "outside the mainstream." But "really bizarre views" doesn't seem to describe any on the reported short list. The rhetoric has definitely changed.

When people have acted as outrageously as the Republicans in Congress have acted since Obama was elected, they have a hard time getting back into the flow of things. I'm expecting Obama, at least, to let them slide back without much reprisal - letting them save a little face in the process. Truth be told, he whipped their asses...
ReplyDeleteThat he did. And I hope all our progressive friends will realize that and acknowledge what he has accomplished.
ReplyDeleteLet's see who he nominates, and what the final regulatory guidelines look like first before we start celebrating. There are plenty of reasons to remain cautious - healthcare and Afghanistan being two.
