Yes... and the Democrats were desperate to avert a total wipeout. That's why they kept offering deals. If they thought they had the vote in hand, they would kept obstructing a vote on those three Bush judicial candidates. When push came to shove, it was a political calculation on the part of the Democrats to keep their powder dry for the inevitable Supreme Court battles. If the rule went, they'd have none left, would they? Its over for them as far as this phase of the battle goes and it shows as a minority party, they had their backs to the wall.

Thank you for making sense.

...so we get votes on 3 of 7 judges (i.e., maybe lose 4 PERFECTLY qualified judges), and the Dems get to continue to use their illegal tactic at will.
If that's a victory for us, then you're a troll.

You dont understand. WE HAVE 55 SENATORS!! Why not just nuke it now? That's where the caving came in, we got screwed, adn this whole debate now drags on, and two wonderful judges get dumped. We have 55 senators, not 45, VOTE!
