I heard Reid say the Michigan Judges would get a vote, but then I think he backed off on Saad. But then one of the "Michigan" judges is from Ohio and that appeals court is in Cincy so the details are a bit muddled.

Still if we get six or seven, no further filibusters until a couple of more Dims go down in reelection battles, ie Nelson and Nelson, and the GOP either later changes the judicial filibuster rule or filibusters the first slightly leftist nominee of the next Dim president, then this is a deal I can live with. It is just that it will be a long time before we know for sure unless the Dims try to not live up to the deal this Congress and the GOP has the guts to call them on it.

Here's an informed opinion: Bush will very quickly nominate Mike Wallace, a lawyer from Mississippi and former Rehnquist law clerk, to the Fifth Circuit.

The Dems will freak because Wallace was Trent Lott's counsel for the Clinton impeachment- as conservative as they come.
