    You have to hand it to them...

    Whatever cards they have to play, Republicans play them to the hilt. They have utterly no compunction about being inconsistent. There is no end to the list of principles that they will totally reverse.

    They will feel quite differently now about filibusters. And the nuclear option.

    When their guy is ahead by a few hundred votes, the right thing to do is for the Democrat to bow out gracefully for the good of the nation. When the situation is reversed, lawsuits galore.

    Let's see how they feel now about transparency of the executive branch.

    Anyone else?
