Signing away our freedom

In order to get Republicans to agree to abide by the rules, Democrats agreed not to use or enforce the rules and backed off on three of the most anti-rule-of-law judges ever. This is poor principle and poor tactics. Br'er Lieberman just threw Br'er Frist into the briar patch. (Looks like at least one Senator agrees with me.)

Update already: This Space For Rent says it all much more better than I possibly could.
