No, it’s not a very good compromise

A lot of liberals are putting on their happy faces about the, um, compromise over the filibuster, which waives it for three typical Evil Party "judges" (corrupt, unqualified, possibly racist) in return for a promise to not immediately gut the government the next time some terrible Evil Party court nominee comes up for approval.

A promise.

From the Evil Party.

And does anyone think that the Evil Party, which set up a huge pile of ways to block a Democrat from appointing judges, only to immediately dismantle them as soon as Maximum Leader Genius stole the 2000 election, considers a promise to be worth the paper it's (not) written on?

Unless the promise comes in the way of wire nooses fastened around the testicles of the Evil Party leadership, to be held at all times by Democratic Party interns (who should be still young enough to be unbribable) who have been ordered to give start yanking on the cord as soon as the Evil Party leadership even says the phrase "nuclear option", it's worth about as much as every other promise that the Evil Party has made in the last 30 years.

The Evil Party doesn't do promises; they do paybacks. The American Taliban reliably delivers both votes and voter fraud to the Evil Party, and they payback they're getting is the systematic dismantling of the separation between church and state. The Stupid Party can deliver, what, some yapping about how it's important not to dismantle the US government, and the Evil Party pays them back by saying "oh, we won't dismantle the government" while they continue to work away with their prybars and iron mallets. It's not a particularly good deal for the Stupid Party.
