25 Senators say: “Elections don’t matter”

Or maybe they’re saying: “We’re trying to raise money”
Or “I’m running for President and pandering to the base”
Or “Show me where in the Constitution it says the President gets to pick judges”
Then “I meant a Republican President”

Whatever. By noon tomorrow, it’ll be over. This might be a good time to take stock at the Coalition of the Chillin’. My entry on the “extraordinary circumstances” threshold meshes perfectly with this whiner on Daily Kos:

CNN is reporting the "Gang of 14" will meet today, presumably to declare the possibility of a filibuster of the Alito nomination dead. That the Gang is getting together to say so is, we must assume, a declaration that the now-infamous "extraordinary circumstances" bar has not been cleared.

Righty-o, boyo. (HT: Decision08)
