Senate Democrats have handed the lovers of liberty a major defeat today. They now have the 60 votes necessary to end debate on the health care bill and bring it to a vote. They are indeed making history. Infamous history.

“Well, Grant” Sherman said to his friend after a bloody defeat on the first day of the battle of Shiloh, “we’ve had the Devil’s own day, haven’t we?”

“Yes” replied Grant, “lick ’em tomorrow, though.”

And we will.
