A quick lesson on compromises

Apparently Frist doesn't quite get the concept of a compromise. See, a compromise involves two sides that are having a disagreement each relenting on certain parts of the disagreement in order to reach consensus.

What a compromise isn't is one side getting exactly what they want while allowing the other side to bitch about it. Let us define a "Frist Compromise" as a compromise that is logically equivalent to the judicial compromise he proposed. Then, if I wanted to kill you, and you wanted to live, the Frist Compromise for that situation would be that you get to beg for your life, and then I get to kill you. Doesn't that sound appealing?
