Betsy's Got The Senate Story Nailed

I've scanned RCP and Memeorandum, and if you're looking for the best news summary and inciteful analysis of Harry Reid's grandstanding yesterday, the place to go is Betsy's Page. I particularly liked this graph:

The Senate exists based on its rules and the courtesy that each side accords the other. All Reid needed to do was to inform Frist ahead of time that he was going to make this demand instead of standing up and interrupting Senate debate about cutting the budget to demand the secret session. Now that Reid has shown that he was willing to manipulate Senate rules and tick off the whole GOP side, including moderates, for a partisan attempt to get a headline, he's just made it easier for Frist and the GOP to support the idea of changing those same rules on filibusters of judicial nominations. You and I might not give a flip about the senatorial rules, but they take them very seriously.
