Read the deal.

Especially Part II.B. Seems like a firm committment to oppose the constitutional option - regardless.

AP NEWS reporting:

Republicans, moving quickly, said they would seek to confirm Owen as early as Tuesday, with other cleared nominees to follow quickly.


Even so, Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., noted he had not been a party to the deal, which fell short of his stated goal of winning yes-or-no votes on each of Bush's nominees. "It has some good news and it has some disappointing news and it will require careful monitoring," he said.

It does read like that. So, when Myers, and Bolton come down the pike .. do they get the vote? Or will the DEMs try to pull a refusal to vote? Refusal to vote is the nature of their filibuster. It forces a reaction. CLoture of point of order or both. The issue isn't going away.

And if the Senators refuse to vote, the Constitutionally-minded Senators either try to deal with it (Constituional Option, whatever its form), or not. Ain't politics fun!
