No way. R's were within hours of 7 for 7 nominees. They traded this away for only 3 of 7. And for what? Even the Dems get to buy time to 'turn' anohter vote or tow against the filibuster; and of course up and thru 2006.
They have given up nothing, they can still vote on the other two right after these 3 are confirmed, they did not agree to withdraw the others names!!!
