So all four of the nominees not explicitly covered by the agreement are to be blocked. In addition to securing votes for only three of seven judges, the Republicans agreed to forgo the Constitutional option for this Congress, and agreed to language blaming President Bush for the judicial impasse.

The Republicans who negotiated this deal got fleeced."


I think the Republicans should force a vote on all four, asap. If the Democrats filibuster, let's see how they explain what the "extraordinary circumstances" are in the case - after all, these are just appellate judges. Let's see if the vaunted Rep spin machine can do something with that. I should think so.

If the Dems decide not to filibuster, then it wasn't such a bad deal after all.
