We can only expect up-or-down votes. There's never been an expectation that all would be confirmed, though you'd hope so since we're in the majority.

Prior to the compromise, the expectation was that, if the Senate was allowed to vote on the nominations directly, all of them would be confirmed. That's why they were filibustered. My gut-rot reaction is that at least one of the "big 3" will now be defeated on the floor (more likely, 2 of them) because of the energy spent on blocking them by the RATs and the need for them to define "extraordinary" to include that particular group.

I heard earlier above that Saad and Meyers don't have majority support.

Think all of the 'big three' will pass.
