Thanks for the info!
But when the senate (or house) makes a deal like this is there anything binding either side to it?
"But when the senate (or house) makes a deal like this is there anything binding either side to it?"
Just the discretion of those who agreed to the deal. Hopefully, we can put enough heat on Graham and Dewine that they back out the first chance the Dems mention the word fillibuster.
But I REALLY like the fact that we are going to get these Michigan judges confirmed. And they WILL be confirmed, since the blue slip - keeping them out of committee- was the hold-up there.
Confirmed judges is money in the bank- even if the deal falls apart tomorrow, the 6th circuit is now a solidly conservative court. And the 6th is the one that produced that horrible Michigan affirmative action decision with the bare liberal majority. Wouldn't happen today- I am pleased.
