About the Deal
[Sean Rushton 05/23 08:33 PM]
Two quick points responding to the moderates’ deal on judicial filibuster: 1. The national center-right coalition opposing judicial filibusters, and the Senate leadership, will continue to push for an up or down vote on every qualified judicial nominee.

2. The fact that Senate Democrats are willing to allow cloture on Owen, Brown, and Pryor indicates that conservative judicial philosophy cannot be considered the basis for a filibuster, or an “extraordinary circumstance.”

Yes....and not all will get the up and down vote...

It was interesting...I heard Hewitt talking to Sen. Kyl around 7 ET...and Kyl was hinting strongly that a deal was imminent...
