A Good Compromise?

It's said that a good compromise leaves both sides upset. I haven't been following the nuclear option showdown closely enough to comment in detail about the filibuster compromise, but that's certainly the case here.

James Dobson: "This Senate agreement represents a complete bailout and betrayal by a cabal of Republicans and a great victory for united Democrats."

Senator Feingold: "This is not a good deal for the U.S. Senate or for the American people. Democrats should have stood together firmly against the bullying tactics of the Republican leadership abusing their power as they control both houses of Congress and the White House. Confirming unacceptable judicial nominations is simply a green light for the Bush administration to send more nominees who lack the judicial temperament or record to serve in these lifetime positions."

Freeper: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

it looks to me like a ragtag group of elders, centrists and renegades banned together to "save the republic." i find it very heartening.
