Just heard on abc news that the reason that Meyers and Saad won't be filibustered is because the Republicans have agreed not to put them up for nomination.

Will someone please explain how this was a compromise and what we got?

If Meyers and Saad are not put up for a vote, there will be a serious revolt. I do not think that Frist et al. are that stupid.

I don't know how it's possible for those 7 republicans to have made an agreement like that. I don't believe they have any say who the Judiciary Committee puts up or when.

So if Republicans only nominate people the Democrats will tolerate, the Democrats agree not to filibuster. Brilliant strategy! /sarcasm

I would say that today is the day the Republicans lost the Senate except for the now obvious fact that the Republicans never even held the Senate in the first place.
