To GOP: Just Say No

All of a sudden, Democrats are eager to negotiate a deal to allow two (of ten) of Bush's appeals court judicial nominees to get a Senate vote. It only took evidence from Sen. McConnell (R-KY) that Republicans have the votes to bypass Democrats altogether and get all of Bush's nominations confirmed, with or without them. Harry Reid (D-NV) has also backtracked on his proposal to shut down the Senate. Unfortunately, Reid is still dictating terms as if he's in charge:

"I've always said that we'd make sure the Senate went forward, but we're going to do it on our agenda, not their agenda," Reid said.

In addition, Reid wants to name his own judicial candidate. In his mind, the President no longer has the sole power to appoint judges. Now, Reid believes the minority party in the Senate (that is coming off a shellacking in the latest election) should be allowed to replace the President's nominees with its own candidates as a reward for allowing two nominees to receive a vote.

Is anyone else angry that Harry Reid even has the audacity to sugggest this ridiculous proposal, nevermind find a listening audience in Sen. Frist? If Republicans even consider this proposal, they are both crazy and stupid. I would like to think they are a lot smarter.

*Update*
Frist says he's "not interested in deals." Good for him.
