"This is too good to be true."

It is. The Dems won't let us change the rules. They'll simply NOT filibuster these judges. They need to keep the option open for the Supreme Court.

Of course we (the Republicans) could then filibuster the judges, and then give ourselves the ruling that says a filibuster is not allowed for judges - leaving the Dems completely perplexed, and without their weapon. But are we smart enough (and disciplined enough) to do that? I doubt it.

"They need to keep the option open for the Supreme Court. "

And then we have the option of changing the rules- no difference.
