Filibuster compromise restores Senate normalcy in South Carolina
Sen Lindsey Graham touted a bipartisan deal ending a heated fight over judicial nominations. Seven Republicans and seven Democrats crafted a compromise allowing yes or no votes on nominees while preserving Democratic filibuster rights. Graham said the agreement aims to restore a 200 year old norm and reduce ideological gridlock. He warned conservatives may retaliate, but affirmed willingness to risk anger for the national good. He also stressed future talks on the Supreme Court and other major issues.
