I agree, those who made the deal on both sides have no guts or principle

I think the GOP saw this deal as a chance to get a "bird in the hand." We get votes on up to 7 judicial nominees, don't have to risk going nuclear, and can threaten to nuke at a later date. I don't see this as a bad deal at all.

Well, all_views, since you're a liberal, maybe you'd like to look at the list of your 7 who voted for the deal:
Joe Lieberman
Ben Nelson
Mary Landrieu
Mark Pryor
Ken Salazar
Kent Conrad
Robert Byrd
Please keep in mind, though, that I don't think the deal's that bad since we get a pass on up to 7 nominees.
