Any of the signers of this can determine that the filibuster is not warranted.

I'm sorry, but I think that you and I have a different understanding of what "honesty" means to the left. Do you believe that the Democrats will allow pro-life, pro-family, strict constructionist judges to the USSC to be confirmed?

I do not. I know them too well. This agreement will last as long as it takes for Bush to nominate someone else who doesn't pass the ideological litmus test.

In a word YES.

Otherwise they know the option will be off the table, in rare case they find real dirt on another Judge. They will permanently lose the Filibuster.

It is nice to at least be able to threaten a Filibuster even if you can't deliver on your promise, the Press will eat it up. In this way they have a very small Victory.

Owen doesn't and she won her nomination.

Bolton Fillilbuster does not bode well for the agreement though.

Funny how FNC was not reporting it as a fillibuster.
