"In a Senate that is increasingly polarized, the bipartisan center held," Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman said Monday night. ... The two-page memorandum of agreement said it is "based upon mutual trust and confidence."... Dems pledge not to filibuster any of Bush's future appeals court or Supreme Court nominees except in 'extraordinary circumstances'...

Dems pledge not to filibuster any of Bush's future appeals court or Supreme Court nominees except in 'extraordinary circumstances'... Is that before or after he submits their names beforehand for approval? The agreement says:
We believe that, under Article II, Section 2, of the United States Constitution, the word Advice speaks to consultation between the Senate and the President with regard to the use of the Presidents power to make nominations. We encourage the Executive branch of government to consult with members of the Senate, both Democratic and Republican, prior to submitting a judicial nomination to the Senate for consideration.
