A Good Sign

Via PoliticalWire, Roll Call reports today that Senate Majority and Minority Leaders Frist and Reid "have struck a deal in which they will begin holding bipartisan listening sessions with rank-and-file Senators, an effort aimed at healing the partisan wounds ripped open by the recent showdown over federal judicial nominees." The senators "plan to conduct joint office hours each week to allow Senators to meet with them face-to-face to address specific issues or air grievances."

If true, and carried out, this is a healthy step.
